Safety Ratings Information

After the FORD KUGA model were conducted the four TNCAP impact tests, the results are as follows:
1.For “Offset Deformable Barrier Frontal Impact Tests”, driver's left thigh protection performance is rated as "Marginal" protection, other body parts of the driver and passenger have "Good" or "Adequate" protection. However, there is a rupture in the driver’s footwell after the collision, which may cause serious injury to the feet, so points were deducted.
2.For “Full Width Frontal Impact Tests”, the driver and passenger have "Good" or "Adequate" protection in body parts.
3.For “Side Impact Mobile Deformable Barrier Tests”, the important body parts have "Good" protection and gets full points.
4.Under the more severe test conditions of the “Oblique Pole Side Impact Tests”, the chest protection performance was rated as "Weak" protection due to the large amount of compression for the ribs when the chest was laterally impacted , other important parts of the body have "Good" protection.
In the front seat and rear seat whiplash tests, the front seat has "Good" protection for the occupant's neck. Due to the insufficient effective height of the head restraint in the rear seat, when it is hit by a vehicle from behind, it is easy for the rear passenger's neck to experience a whiplash effect, resulting in a "Poor" protection.
This vehicle model has a standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system, which performed well with collisions avoided in all City test scenarios. Furthermore, whiplash performance of front seat was rated "Good" protection. Therefore, the AEB City system gets full points.

After the FORD KUGA model were conducted “Offset Deformable Barrier Frontal Impact Tests”, for 6-year-old and 10-year-old children of crash performance, the important body parts of the child dummy in the car have "Good" protection. However, when the 10-year-old child dummy moves forward during the test, the seat belt slipped from the shoulder and affects the restraint effect, so points were deducted. After “Side Impact Mobile Deformable Barrier Tests”, the important body parts of the child dummy in the car was rated as "Good" protection and gets full points.
The car owner's manual clearly records the information on child restraint system applicable to the rear seat. The rear seat can be correctly installed with some types of child restraint system (universal and ISOFIX) after being tested. However, there are no ISOFIX labels on the second row outboard, which do not meet the ISOFIX installing protocols. Besides, this vehicle model does not provide the function for installing i-Size child restraint system.

After the FORD KUGA model were conducted Headform Impact Tests of pedestrian protection tests, which impacts at vehicle's A-pillar and its adjacent areas of the windshield, the head protection performance was rated as "Weak" or "Poor", and the rest of the hood has rated as "Good" protection. After the pelvis impact test and leg impact test, the front bumper of the vehicle was rated as "Good" protection on the pedestrian's pelvis and legs and gets full points.
This vehicle model has a standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system. In vulnerable road user test scenarios, all the functions of human machine interface meet the protocol and 4 test results are as below:
1.Car-to-VRU Farside Adult (50%) tests, collisions occurred at 45km/h to 60km/h, but the system can mitigate the degree of injury.
2.Car-to-VRU Nearside Adult (25%) tests, collisions occurred at 50km/h to 60km/h, but the system can mitigate the degree of injury.
3.Car-to-VRU Nearside Adult (75%) tests, the system performed well to avoid all collisions at 20km/h to 60km/h.
4.Car-to-VRU Nearside Child (50%) tests, collisions occurred at 35km/h to 45km/h, but the system can mitigate the degree of injury. However, the system cannot effectively mitigate the degree of injury at 50km/h to 60km/h.

FORD KUGA has a standard-fit speed assistance system, but the speed limit information cannot be shown all the time of the test, nor can it recognize the traffic signs for time, weather, and vehicle category. When the vehicle speed exceeds the manually set speed limit, the system can effectively warn the driver by audiovisual warning, and can stably maintain the actual vehicle speed within 5km/h of the manually set speed limit.
Both the front and rear seats are equipped with standard-fit seatbelt reminder, but the system cannot effectively detect occupant of front passenger seat, and part of warning functions of driver seat do not meet the protocol, so no points were awarded.
When the vehicle drifts from the driving lane, the lane support system can alert and automatically intervene to correct the driving direction to the original driving path. However, part of the functions of human machine interface do not meet the protocol.
The vehicle model is equipped with a standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system, which is rated as "Good" protection in high-speed performance tests. However, part of the functions of human machine interface do not meet the protocol. 3 test results are as below:
1.Car-to-Car Rear Stationary (CCRs) of FCW tests, collision occurred at 60km/h to 80km/h, but the system can mitigate the degree of injury.
2.Car-to-Car Rear Moving (CCRm) of FCW and AEB tests, the system performed well to avoid all collisions.
3.Car-to-Car Rear Braking (CCRb) of AEB tests, collision occurred at 12m headway, 2m/s2 deceleration, but the system can mitigate the degree of injury.
