Ancap Dezembro de 2023
Mahindra Scorpio e MG 5 alcançaram zero estrelas, nós crash tests do Euroncap.
Apesar de resultados bons em alguns testes noutros, ambos os modelos apresentaram resultados preocupantes.
O MG5 não tem Pre-Tensores nos lugares dianteiros
na versão base, isto em 2023.
The MG 5 sedan has been awarded a zero-star ANCAP safety rating against the latest 2023-2025 testing protocols.
The small sedan is one of two vehicles to receive a zero-star ANCAP safety rating under these latest testing protocols. The other vehicle is the Mahindra Scorpio body-on-frame SUV.
It received an adult occupant protection score of 37 per cent, child occupant protection score of 58 per cent, vulnerable road user protection score of 42 per cent, and a safety assist score of 13 per cent.
ANCAP claims the MG 5 would be unable to achieve a safety rating “any higher than zero stars” due to its active collision avoidance performance, as well as its physical crash protection.
During the testing the MG 5 recorded Poor ratings for the chest and legs of the driver in the frontal offset test, as well as Poor ratings for the chest and legs of the rear passenger in the full-width frontal test.
Penalties were also applied for chest deflection and seat belt loading exceeding injury limits, as well as hazards behind the dashboard structure.
The Australian Government-funded independent safety authority noted loading on the head and neck of the child dummies in the MG 5 was “significantly higher than seen in most current-generation vehicles”.
Weak results were recorded for three of the four child dummies across both the front and side impact tests, which ANCAP indicates “a lack of design effort to prevent rear-seat occupant injury in frontal impact and side impact scenarios”.
In the entry-level MG 5 Vibe there are no seat belt pre-tensioners and load limiters fitted to the front or rear seats. In the flagship MG 5 Essence they're only fitted to the front seats and not the rear.
ANCAP noted the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) performance was “limited or not available”, with other “contemporary aids to monitor driver alertness and the presence of children inadvertently left in the vehicle not offered”.
There's currently no centre airbag offered across the entire MG 5 line-up, nor are there blind-spot monitoring and lane-keep assist systems.
“While the lack of collision avoidance (ADAS) features consumers have come to expect have been omitted from the MG 5 – and play a part in limiting the MG 5's safety rating – a fundamental element of ANCAP assessments remains a vehicle's physical crashworthiness,” said ANCAP CEO Carla Hoorweg.
