Description: The Nissan Townstar is a corporate twin to Renault Kangoo and their structure is practically identical. Euro NCAP compared both vehicles to verify that the Renault Kangoo results can be applied to Townstar and performed additional tests where necessary. Euro NCAP performs a series of crash and safety tests on car models: - a frontal impact test, 50% of the width of the car is striking an oncoming deformable barrier, also travelling at 50 km/h - a frontal impact test, the car impacts a rigid full width barrier - a side impact test, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door - a pole test, the tested car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole. A series of pedestrian tests are conducted with different impactors, adult and child head form, lower and upper leg form and whiplash tests are performed on a sled as well as AEB pedestrian and cyclist tests. Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking car-to-car scenarios, occupant status monitoring (including seatbelt reminders), lane support and speed assistance technologies.
