Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles says robust structures and a high number of standard assistance systems fitted to the new ID.Buzz electric van and the Amarok ute has resulted in a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
The ID. Buzz is equipped with driver, front-seat passenger, centre and side airbags in the cockpit, plus curtain airbags. It scored 92% of the maximum possible ratings points for occupant protection.
The new Amarok achieved a similarly high points total in the crash tests as the ID. Buzz.
The very good scores for the front and side crash tests with the Amarok were achieved in combination with VW-specific child seats.
Euro NCAP also gave top scores for accident avoidance. Both the ID. Buzz and the new Amarok are equipped with numerous standard specification and/or optional assistance and emergency braking systems, which impressed the testers.
In the ‘Safety Assist’ category these features helped the vehicles to achieve 90% (ID. Buzz) and 84% (Amarok) of the possible ranking points.
