GLE V167 Crash Test

I haven’t seen this posted and it’s labeled as a 2019 in Europe but looks to be the 2020. Impressive safety results....several nice cars destroyed testing!

This is a pretty impressive demonstration of the safety systems. At the :37-second mark, you can see that the passenger airbag is deployed before the collision actually happens.

Well, it has actually made contact with the deformable blue cover on the target, but still impressive.

Yup, I looked at it too quickly. The shot before the one screenshotted shows the blue part making contact beneath the hood. The hood remains intact in the overhead, but the car has already made contact. Very cool stuff, nonetheless.

Yeah it’s the same as what the American market would call MY20. It got amazing results and I’ve seen it publicised in Australia too that GLE has best score ever for child safety!

Disappointed with the scores for Adult Occupant of 91 when most of the competition is around 98? Hopefully the iihs test will be better?
  1. Adult Occupant


    91%


  2. Child Occupant


    90%


  3. Vulnerable Road Users

    78%


  4. Safety Assist


    78%
