Question IIHS Crash Test video

I've been looking for IIHS's W213 crash test video on youtube for a while.
The car has been on the market for around 8 month.
But I only found 2014 E class video (
).

The only E class crash test video on youtube was done by Euro NCAP (
).

Does anyone know how long it takes for IIHS to release the results?

The euro ncap is the same as NHSTA. IIHS only does the small overlap test. The previous version of the E and the new C class have aced that test so the new E will do so too.

Even though I know it will ace the IIHS crash tests, Im curious if it will be able to obtain the top safety pick plus rating with good headlights and good crash prevention.

Right, and I'm especially interested in the small overlap test.

We will see, MB "intelligent" headlights were only mediocre before. The regular lights sucked.

MB dropped headlight washers. At least in Europe it means less powerful lights, the allowed reference figure is lower. Matrix lights compensate this loss when high beams can be used even with cars facing or ahead (just the section towards other cars is switched to low beams).

Hopefully they test lights before that crash test.
