The Audi Q7 scores 100% in the new Euro NCAP new post crash safety tests
By Areeb Khan
The Audi Q7, Kia EV2 and Xpeng X9 have all earned five star Euro NCAP ratings under the tougher 2026 testing protocol. However, the Q7 stands out with a perfect 100% score for poast-crash safety, while the Xpeng X9 loses points for its speed limit recognition system and driver monitoring shortcoming
Euro NCAP rating toh many manufacturers 5-star safety rating achieve karne ka aim rakhte hai, which undergone a system change since this year and has become even more comprehensive than before. But Audi ne abb isse bhi ek step further jaate hue ek category mein 100% score schieve kiya hai, specifically accident ke baad safety ke department mein. Belgian-based organization Euro NCAP ne abb Audi Q7 ke results publish kiye hai, along with Xpeng X9 and KIA EV2, and three models ko 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating di gayi hai. Audi Q7 mein aap dekh payenge that an advanced eCall system diya gaya hai, jo ek third-party service ke through operate karta hai, which provides detailes information about the occupants inside the vehicle and even the type of impact ji se vehicle accident ke time par pass hui hai. Is system ko iss tarah design kiya gaya hai ki accident hone ke baad emergency services occupants ko quickly or safely vehicle se extract kar sakein. According to Euro NCAP, the Audi Q7 achieves 100% post-collision safety In Other areas so yahan par bhi it achieves outstanding results, with second-row passengers ke liye 100%protection dekhi jaa sakti hai, while first-row passengers ke liye 95%protection milti hai. Iski only shortcomings tab notice ki jaa sakti hai jab collision ke time driver ko whiplash injury hoti hai, or pedestrian ya cyclist ke saath collision hone ki situation mein pelvis ka impact windshield ya hard points, means A-pillarpar pad sakta hai. In sab factors ko consider karte hue, vehicle ko impact protection ke liye 88% rating di gayi hai. Accident avoidance or safe driving yahan par is vehicle ko respectively 77% or 72% ke scores mile hai. Again, overall score thoda lower ho jaata hai due to pedestrians or cyclists ke liye lack of adequate protection, especially jab woh aise angles se approach karte hai jo driver seat se easily visible nahi hote. Other than this, improper seatbelt positioning ko recognise karne ka feature bhi nahi diya gaya hai, or standard child occupant detection system ki absence bhi dekhi jaa sakti hai, jo warn kar sake if childerns vehicle ke inside unattended reh jaate hai. Even so, in aforementioned areas mein mile scores ki wajah se yeh vehicle 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating achieve karne mein successful rehta hai. The Kia EV2 gets 5 Stars, however it has a weak point In the case of the Kia EV2, so yahan par EV2 ne 74% score achieve kiya for safe driving, which means ki car ke inside koi distractions nahi hai and ADAS systems bhi driver ke experience ko unnecessarily disrupt nahi karte. Kabhi-kabhi manufacturers better user experience dene ke liye ADAS systems ki interventions ko limit kar dete hai, jiski wajah se kuch points sacrifice karne pad sakte hai. Collision avoidance ki baat karein so Kia EV2 ko yahan par 66% score mila hai, jo comparatively low hai because pedestrians or cyclists ke saath collisions avoid karne mein car ki performance utni acchi nahi raahi, even at low speeds. Whether pedestrians road cross kar rahe ho, car maneuvers ke during situation ho, ya phir cyclist ke cross karne ke just pehle car ka door open ho jaaye, in sabhi situations mein collision avoidance performance weak dekhi gayi hai.
Safety ratings ki baat karein so this compact electric SUV achieves an 86%score in front-end protection and an 89%score in post-crash safety. Euro NCAP ne central airbag ko highlight kiya hai, which helps in preventing passengers from colliding with each other in the event of a side impact. Other than this, emergency services ke liye bhi SUV ke inside trapped passengers ko bahar nikalna relatively easy dekha gaya hai. Xpeng X9's technology fails to accurately identify the road's speed limit Xpeng X9 ka case thoda interesting hai. Euro NCAP ke according, car mein touch control par kaafi zyada depend kiya gaya hai and yeh driver fatigue ya distraction toh detect kar leti hai. But agar driver driving ke time mobile phone use kar raha hai, so usse detect nahi kar paati. Other than this, iska speed assist system bhi Euro NCAP ke test mein speed limits ko correctly recognise karne mein fail raha. Same reason hai ki safe driving category mein Xpeng X9 ko 57% score mila hai, although Chinese manufacturer abb already apne system ke liye ek update par work kar raha hai. Even so, Euro NCAP mein 5-star safety rating achieve ki hai, so iska one major reasson accident prevention mein iska good performance bhi hai, jahan isne 82% score kiya hai. Accident ke during or after that occupants ki protection ke case mein bhi X9 ne 91% score achieve kiya hai. However, kuch points deduct kiye gaye hai because collision ke case mein agar koi pedestrian ya cyclist is electric minivan ke hood se hit ho jaata hai, so wahan lack of adequate protection dekhi gayi hai. Interestingly, is electric minivan ka declared unladen weight 2,690 kg hai, jo iske size or weight ko bhi highlight karta hai. News Source: Motor.es
