The side impact test simulates a small car striking the driver’s door of the test vehicle. Experience shows that large vehicles like the Vito can be expected to perform well in this test. ANCAP has adopted a policy of awarding these types of vehicles a default score of 16 points (out of 16).

Whiplash Summary

Whiplash Protection Crash Test Image

Front geometry: 3.70 points

Rear geometry: [Not applicable]

AEB (City): [Not applicable]

Some Australasian Vito variants have less favourable head restraint geometry than the vehicle assessed by Euro NCAP and may provide less protection from whiplash. This does not affect the overall safety rating.

Pedestrian Summary

Acceptable Pedestrian RatingPedestrian Rating - please view table for scores

Adult & child head impacts: 14.14 points
Upper leg impacts: [Not tested]
Lower leg impacts: 6.00 points

This vehicle scored 20.14 out of 30 points (Acceptable). Owing to the height and geometry of the front of the test vehicle, no tests were performed against the front edge of the bonnet. The protection provided against head injury on the bonnet surface was mostly in the range from marginal to good, with poor results recorded on the stiff windscreen pillars. The bumper scored maximum points in Euro NCAP tests, offering good protection to pedestrians' legs. (Tested by Euro NCAP v7 Heavy Vehicles)
