09 Dec 2021|691 views
The BMW iX has scored the highest possible five star rating at the latest round of safety tests conducted by the European New Car Assessment Programme, adding to the already impressive suite of features for the car that includes its all-electric drivetrain and range of connected technology.
The BMW iX achieved five-star ratings in all test categories of the Euro NCAP crash test. In the assessment of adult occupant protection, the testers highlighted among other features the effectiveness of the new interactive airbag between the driver and front passenger seats, which provides additional protection against injury in the event of a side collision. Child safety in the rear of the BMW iX was also given the highest possible score for both frontal and side collisions.
Meanwhile, the integrated safety concept of the BMW iX ensures the highest level of passenger protection. In addition to precisely coordinated restraint systems, the BMW iX also sports highly resilient support structures and precisely designed deformation zones that absorb the impact of a collision and keep it away from the passenger compartment.
This is thanks to a body structure that combines an aluminium spaceframe with a carbon cage for the passenger compartment.
Other standard features of the BMW iX include attention assistant, lane departure warning and speed limit recognition, all of which scored positively in the Euro NCAP crash test. The Driving Assistant Professional package is offered as an option, which also includes steering and lane guidance assistance.
The BMW iX also features an active bonnet, which is raised by means of a pyrotechnical triggering mechanism as soon as the data collected by sensors indicate a corresponding collision. This creates a deformation zone that prevents direct impact between the pedestrian or cyclist and hard components in the engine compartment.
