Independent safety experts at the European consumer protection institute Euro NCAP have awarded both the new BMW X1 and the new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer the highest safety rating of five stars.
The latest generation of front collision warning with braking function were both commended by the institution for enhancing safety in urban traffic. The technology can now also detect pedestrians and cyclists approaching parallel to the lane from behind or in front when turning right (applicable to left-hand drive countries), helping to avoid a collision with road users.

The BMW X1 and the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer managed to convince the experts at Euro NCAP with their innovative systems in the area of passive safety.
Both models feature a centre airbag between the driver and front passenger seats as standard.
In both the front and rear seats, the headrests and seats of the BMW X1 and the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer can also effectively protect against cervical injuries that can be triggered by a rear-end collision.
