Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross - Crash Tests 2017
Euro NCAP has published the safety ratings of eight new vehicles: the Volvo XC60 in the large off-road category; the VW T-Roc, Skoda Karoq and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross in the small off-road category; the Citroën C3 Aircross and Opel Crossland X small MPV category; and two superminis – the new VW Polo and the SEAT Ibiza’s partner, the Arona. All cars achieve a maximum five-star rating. The passenger compartment of the Eclipse Cross remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings showed good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Mitsubishi demonstrated that a similar level of protection would be provided tooccupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. in the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the chest of the rear passenger was rated as marginal, based on dummy measurements of compression but, otherwise, protection of both dummies was good or adequate. In both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the Eclipse Cross scored maximum points. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuryin the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The standard-fit 'Forward Collision Mitigation' (FCM) system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds typical of city driving, with collisions avoided at all test speeds
