4x4 Versus Luxury Car
Luxury cars
may beat 4x4's in pedestrian tests.
How friendly though? If we compare the Pedestrian Test Rating as provided by EURO NCAP say of the Renault Scenic, which is a very popular MPV, to say the Nissan X-Trail we can see that they both have a two star rating. In fact the Toyota Rav4 and the Honda CRV both have 3 stars in this test. Admittedly, for larger Off Road style body shapes the ratings are around one star, but, for most vehicles pedestrian test ratings aren’t great, which kind of says a lot about the motor industry in general. Oh, and even though luxury cars don’t have the ‘appalling’ design flaws of BIG 4×4s the Mercedes E-Class saloon has a Pedestrian Test Rating (2003) of one star.
