Mercedes-Benz E-Class scores high on Euro NCAP rating

The all new Mercedes-Benz E-Class has just scored highly across the board, with a 95% safety rating for adult occupants, 90% for child occupants, 77%for pedestrians, and 62% on safety assistance.

These high scores are partly down to the E-Class being fitted with ‘Pre Safe’ – Merc’s safety system which senses when an accident is about to occur and primes the restraint and protection systems for collision as well as autonomous emergency braking. Both safety features are fitted as standard to the model.

Despite the four door saloon having an active bonnet, complete with sensors in the bumper to detect when a pedestrian has been struck and actuators which lift the bonnet to provide additional protection, pedestrian safety suffered due to the feature poorly protecting the pelvis of any struck pedestrian.
