- 2017 Mercedes E-Class Crash Test - Better than five stars
The E-Class's occupant safety, child safety, pedestrian protection and assistance systems have been awarded a five-star Euro NCAP rating. The Saloon was a particularly deserving recipient of this top rating since in the crash tests in all four categories it significantly outperformed the standard required by Euro NCAP in order to attain the top score of five stars.
Category: Result E-Class Five-star cut-off
Occupant safety: 95.00% 80.00%
Child safety: 90.00% 75.00%
Pedestrian protection: 77.00% 60.00%
Assistance systems: 62.00% 50.00%
The E-Class Saloon also achieved two Euro NCAP "Advanced" awards for PRE‑SAFE® and ATTENTION ASSIST - both awards go beyond the star rating and underline particular safety innovations.
The E-Class Saloon owes these impressive results primarily to the combination of its high-strength passenger safety cell with highly effective restraint systems and the large number of driver assistance systems on board. Active Brake Assist, for example, is a standard feature. It is able to warn the driver of impending collisions, provide support with emergency braking and, if necessary, apply the brakes autonomously. Likewise included as standard are ATTENTION ASSIST with adjustable sensitivity, which can warn the driver of inattentiveness and drowsiness, and Crosswind Assist.
Other driver assistance systems are available as an option, including DRIVE PILOT, which marks a further milestone on the road to automated driving, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist and Traffic Sign Assist with wrong-way warning function. Some of these optional systems, however, have not yet been taken into consideration in the Euro NCAP assessment.
Active and passive safety are intelligently combined with the PRE-SAFE® system, which is able to recognise critical situations on the road and, where there is the threat of an accident, trigger preventive measures to protect the occupants. PRE‑SAFE® Impulse Side is available as an option for the E-Class for the first time. If it detects the immediate threat of a lateral collision, this new subsystem is able to move the driver or front passenger away from the danger zone as a preventive measure, effectively creating a virtual crumple zone for the side of the vehicle. Another new feature is the standard PRE-SAFE® Sound system. Immediately before a collision it can trigger a natural protective reflex in the ear, preparing the occupants for the noise of the accident in order to reduce potential damage to their hearing.
Mercedes-Benz takes the protection of more vulnerable road users such as children very seriously. This also applies to pedestrians and cyclists. The E-Class Saloon features an active bonnet which can be raised 80 millimetres during an impact to provide additional deformation space. In addition Active Brake Assist is not only able to recognise slow-moving, stopping or stationary vehicles but also pedestrians crossing in the danger zone in front of the vehicle and can brake autonomously to prevent a collision with a pedestrian. With features such as these, the E-Class's impressive pedestrian protection standards far exceed statutory requirements.
The E-Class Saloon's success in the Euro NCAP rating is the result of Mercedes‑Benz's holistic safety philosophy. Instead of focusing solely on rating requirements, the company uses findings from its own accident research to develop internal test standards and test criteria that go beyond what is required by law. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

I've been in a wreck while in a Mercedes. It was luxurious.
I was a passenger in a rollover crash in an AMG E-class wagon. Both the driver and I (only occupants), walked away with nothing but a couple of scratches.
@@crashyyy4116 did you died?
@@bobderbraumeister6919 We rolled 4.5 (360 degree rolls) times. So yes, I dieded.

@@bobderbraumeister6919 yeah, haha well this one is different. On a serious note -- very glad to be alive and very thankful to mercedes safety engineers.
My utmost respect for these people! I have had the "privilege" to be in a 5-star car during a head-on collision. Truly lifesavers!

A few days after I was born a lady drove through a red light and totaled our family’s Benz with my dad, cousins and grandpa inside, luckily no one was seriously hurt in our car, just a few minor cuts and scrapes and bruises. The lady who drove the other car had to go to the hospital and was in very bad shape afterwards. Say what you will about Mercedes but you gotta admit , they make safe cars.
They make cars very safe nice looking and really fast
My favorite will always be Mercedes
The Best or nothing
Mercedes always. These Germans are creating powerfull tanks.
This post lacks so much context it's ridiculous.
@@gottliebdee263 How does it lack context? I told you that a crash that sent someone to the hospital in another car after they ran the red light speeding through the intersection, left my family unscathed in the Benz that was hit by the light runners car. both cars were completely totaled but no one in our Benz was injured. what other context are you seeking?
So this is why so many Russian people buy Mercedes Benzs
No, it's because Russians are show-offs

That pink chain tho...
All factories should be painted in Lego colours, it would be less miserable :-)
It can change colour to temperature, is the temperature to low to use the chain safely it will change colour.
Wow that's really interesting
I'm surprised that those men weren't wearing heels. It's gayropa afterall

Well they kinda are
@Montgomery15 Snooker Videos ummmmm what??????
I owned an E300 2017 and had an accident exactly the same in this video. Glad that I chose the right brand and right car.
I'll keep this in mind when I'm buying my next car. Not really, I could never afford this.
Don't worry, most European cars are as safe as this Mercedes ;-)
Fabrice Laporte One Word: Volvo
ToJa 2002 i wanted this E class but after this video i want preorder Volvo S90
LOL you know if you have a FULL time job.
Within a year you could afford a 2015-2016 Mercedes-benz C-Class.
Well if you are European i mean :)
CrossfireGlitcher11 - well, I'm Polish, which definitely makes me European, I've had full time jobs (and more than that) for most of my life and I wouldn't be able to afford a 2 years old C-Class. I wouldn't even be able to afford a 2 years old Kia Rio. So no, having a full time job won't make you able to afford a C-Class. However, having a well paying job will.
Nice, nice, but...I still cannot afford one of these, so...
A rusty old one
I have a C Class - which is the next car down from this. But I can't afford the car I want - a Rolls Royce Phantom!!
I don't have any car atm, and I also can't afford the car I want- a koenigsegg agera r .. lol
So if you have an accident, is more probable that you can die.
You have to be pretty wealthy to be able to afford to service one of these after it is 4 years old

The beauty. Look how it grabs and pulls in on the seat belts to ensure maximum safety. I’ve always loved the e class for having those self tightening seat belts.
i think most cars have seatbelts that do that. i know my 98 taurus did
@@misseselise3864 I meant when you first get in the car and buckle your seat belt, the seatbelt automatically tugs to get a tighter grip. I think what you’re talking about is when you brake hard or get in an accident, the seat belts lock? I may be wrong.
@@misseselise3864 the e class tightens them before a crash and then locks up.
My E class hugs me before I drive. The seatbelts are tightened around my frame.
Well it's nice to know that my family and I would be safe if I ever won the lottery
@@Perceptence a used E class really isn't that expensive.
If I'm able to find a 2016 E63 AMG for £24k, I think you can find a normal 2013 E class for under 7k.
@@Perceptence 45k isn't that much
That's an e class
I don't think the average everyday person wants to commit to $45k just to own a car they want, it'd be more wise to commit that elsewhere that'll make you money. Plenty of wealthy people don't even drive Mercedes but drive cheaper to maximize their wealth.
You can easily get a reasonably low mileage E class for around $20k. I saw a 2016 E450 coupe for $21k 31k mi, my 2012 E350 went for $15k with less than 72k mi.
Don't gotta break the bank for quality. Know what you want, what it does, budget wisely and now you own a Mercedes 🤷🏽♂️ it is just a car in essence
I don't understand why people think they cost so much to buy. But they do cost a small fortune to maintain.
It comes with automatic crash blinkers for your convenience.
Yeah, I wonder if the "check engine" sign also flashes up :D
Carl Johnson no he just hit the indicator
Tisloh Makwa Both sides are flashing.
Carl Johnson crashing in a mercedes is more comfortable.
all new cars I know of sold in Europe in the past years have had that. The break lights flash quickly as well on many newer vehicles if you hit the breaks hard enough.
Did you know the original Euro ncap crash tests were invented by Mercedes for the W124 ( before it became the E class) . NCAP adopted many of the tests but not all originally. Needless to say the W124 passed...
Interesting
13:12 you can see how the seatbealts gets tighten up by explosives. Amazing engineer stuff
Explosive? They do that tightening every time you put them on, not as fasf but they pull them selves tight, it takes some time to get used to them :D
@@MegaJoojee sure. They do it every time. But this explosives gives you some extra tightening in case of an accident
Oh yeah I can see that, it tighten right on the impact, almost the same time with the airbag being deployed, there might be a sensors of some sort
my 2001 Peugeot 206 does that too
During my surgical term in my practical year (last year of studying medicine in germany) we got a patient admitted to the ER. A woman, about 35-40, had a car accident, her car was hit by a train on an unguarded traintrack. It was a diesel-locomotive DB series 218 with about 30 wagons of commercial cargo attached, going at about 50 km/h at the time of impact. Her car was hit on the drivers side, is was pushed infront of the train on the track for about 30 meters before it was pushed of the tracks and went down a small hill onto grass. It did not flip.
I expected the worst when I heard what was coming. The woman had absolutely NO INJURIES. Not a damn scratch on her! A small bruise where the seatbelt hold her was all. She was in a state of shock and emotionally instable, but that was clinically the worst the crash did to her.
She was driving a Mercedes S Class (which of course was trashed by the train).
And in my Toyota Camry I would be also safe I'm sure. And my Camry V40 is in the Top 10 of: World Best Selling Cars where is the Mercedes? I can see nothing maybe in place 50....xD So The Camry is in Top 10 of world Best Selling Cars and he is Safe and that's better than 5 stars!!!

Engineer: we just need to do a quick test, it's ok am sure you will pass.
🥺
Ok wow.
I cried
wat
I own E class.. I crashed 2 times, this car is really amaizing strong and safe.
You should probably spend your money on driving lessons rather than new cars...
You shouldn't boast about having accidents mate.. Lmao
Maybe you need to take a break from driving
Rear ending a car in front of you at 10 kph. Yeah, that's safe.
Volvo just got jealous
What a incredible car is Benz
Built like no other car in the world
It can be fixed in Poland :)
lol I love your comment
And sold as accident-free :D
Trust me it can be fixed by low cost in China
take me this for one day and buy cement
Danny Liu not that low cost for a E vlass though
This was all in slow-mo so i couldn't judge the speed, they also didn't mention how fast it was. :/
Crash tests are made with a speed of 55 Km/h, roughly 35 MPH.
No it's 64 km/h...
How do you know that, where is it mentioned?
Because 64 km/h is the standard speed for frontal crash tests.
12:32 it has almost 90 km/h....
That's pretty cool it looks like they engineered the front wheel and tire to basically act as additional airbag during that type of collision. It stays in place and compresses during the crash when I expected it to break away.
a century in the making, a decade for the prepartions, a scond for the crash. good job..
After watching this video I'm now a fully qualified automotive safety engineer.

A lot of companies would’ve put music over this, thank you for not doing so. Without music its way better since you can feel the realness
Volvos be like: That's cute
Volovs metal can't bend
abdullah hamadeh and mercedes still uses steel frames. When a car has just enough tolerence to bend it can actually help the survivability of the passengers inside the car. With a very stiff car frame it can cause much of the force to cause many unwanted injuries
Cevair Zufer - not quite. Mercedes was the first to introduce crumple zones, but 3-point seatbelts first appeared in Volvos. So I'd say both companies go head to head when it comes to safety.
China bought Volvo ,IT s Not swedish anymore :(.
I Like both Cars But smart i Like more .
Are all Volvos 16 year old girls? We got to put an end to the whole "that's cute" thing. It's so cringy.
13:12 I love how the belts tighten up after the impact.
Volvo did it first
Yup seatbelt pre-tensioners are standard in most cars now.
@@klodinkediloni762 nope
That was awesome how the backseat seatbelts tighten up around the kids even before their bodies would move due to the momentum.
I'm impressed the driver door even opened after the collision without the need for "the jaws of life'.. Great safety test, Great engineering ! ! !
This is a requirement for a 5-star rating. They actually are using a scale to measure the force it takes to open the door, and there’s a max it can be in order to pass. This not only means that the structure of the car around the occupant didn’t deform (meaning that they’re less likely to have been injured by part of the car coming into the passenger cabin and hitting them), but also it means that they’re less likely to be stuck in the car so they can either self-rescue or be quickly rescued by a bystander in the event there’s a fire or the car ends up in water.
@@lekoman Thank you for your response and explanation of what is required to be a 5-star rating in a car crash and being able to exit the car by the cabin remaining intact around the occupants and not deform enough to open doors. I feel safer already and I don't even own a Mercedes-----------------yet.
@@larrybruce4856 Good luck! I hope you get one soon. :)
the level of prep is amazing. autos have come quite a ways in the past 50 years.
why is everyone so quiet, like they must talk during work
The pre-safe system saved me from many crashes. They literally are the best.
Okay I see you can not drive a car if you need so many safe systems...You know what is the best? World Best Selling Cars and Reliable Cars and I see only Japanese and US Cars. My Toyota Camry V40 is in the top 10 of World Best Selling Cars where is your Mercedes? Maybe place 100...xD The Camry and Ford Victoria Crown or Lincoln Town Car is in Asia and USA a famous Taxi and Police Vehicle why? Because they are beautiful and reliable!
@@hamanncorporation1993 Karl Benz literally is the inventor of cars, I’m pretty sure his company makes the best by default. Also I rented a Camry once and it is absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had in a car, it is absolutely the worst car I’ve ever driven. The only reason it’s “the best” is because it’s cheap. If everyone had money, they’d all be buying Mercedes, not Toyota.

Luxurious & less maintenance costs, performance & average BMW
Well, it is not fair to compare a standard e class to a m5 ( performance wise) you have to compare the amg e-class vs the m5
"The best or nothing!"
Why don't they invest this kind of precision when they build the engine? It seems every single Benz of late is designed with major mechanical issues.
Not at all. I have 2 new Mercedes and they have been perfect over 40,000 miles.
They don't last past 70k without major issues. Thats a fact. They are designed to run well for the first 50k. These cars are best leased, and not owned.
Ive owned a couple, and I drive one now. They always have a number of big ticket items before getting 70k. A big ticket item on a merc will run you 5 -10k in repairs. On a japanese car, those kind of repair bills are unheard of.
Like ABC suspension is a 10k repair.... and is guaranteed to fail on some models. Things that you have never heard of fail on these cars and they are expensive to repair.
I didn't say BMW is better. In fact BMW is way worse, in that they put perishable plastics in the center of the engine as seals. knowing that after 90k, the owner would have to pull out the engine -5k in labor- to replace a 20 dollar seal.
These cars are best leased and not owned as Ive said. Or owned with a warranty
What if you're wrong? ;)
A single dummy used in the crash test costs way more than the car itself.
v vv But you can reuse the dummie. The car is... not reusable after the test 😜
hynkelstein I don't know if you can reuse the dummy if it gets wrecked. The structural integrity of the dummy will be compromised with each crash, so I'd assume they require new ones for each independent crash.
v vv no they can be used often. they are way to expensive to buy new ones every test
Not if you are testing a Bugatti
@@jan-willemlatte4759 Thanks Captain Obvious.
11:53 - I'd have that as an option on my car 😀
The door at the end is opened with a tool that mesures how much force is needed to open the door. If too little or too much comparing to the original, that means something happened inside that affected the doors and thereby must be examined.
now that's German quality!!!
I bet that guy on the lift tells his friends he drives a Mercedes.
Oh my goodness, incredibly accurate technology and calculations from Mercedes, I tip my hat to her I love you Mercedes 🤎👑
the less the car crumples, the more the People crumple.
TikiShootah lmao you just shrink the explanation
what i mean is that cars are meant to crumple to absorb the impact. If there is no Crumple zone. Then the human occupants are gonna be in alot of trouble. As the human body cannot take that kinda force. Air bags and seat belts keep in you in place. but the car is supposed to decelerate. So the abrupt stop doesn't rupture organs.
TikiShootah .....okay.. we'll see if that holds up when a semi crashes into you
Good example, what about if a 747 crashes into you? Seriously though, what car is going to keep you safe if a semi truck hits you, please explain this? Crumple or no crumple you're dead with multiple organ failure.
KiwiPowerNZ elaborate on your semi accident. You'd still survive rite
This made me very emotional for some reason

Simply amazing! I need a Mercedes!
WOW!
I crashed head on into a red light runner with a Mercedes CLA at around 40mph. the entire front of the car was done for but I was for the most part fine, other than minor bodily shock from the impact and minor scrapes on my arm from the arm rest stitchings.
Why does it not inflat the left side airbag? The drivers head was not in good contact
It is a front impact, not a side impact
Screaming Eagle
And who are you to say that we should stay away from e class?Are you one of the persons that was on the safety testing? I like how some random youtuber knows batter than the persons that tested the car. And no, in a moderate overlap impact the side airbags should not deploy.In a small overlap impact, yes, they should deploy.End you can see this from the other cars that were tested in this manner.
Well I did work for company that does also testing in Germany (ADAC), but I am more informed about this because before buying my new Q3 I did some research. Check out the IIHS moderate overlap tests, in the majority of cases side airbags deploy together with the front ones. And, as I said in my previous post, it is strange that we can not see where the drivers head rest after hitting the airbag.
anyway the fact that the head is out of the window and hits the B pillar bothers me. ENCAP did a Merc GLC crash test recently, and the air curtain inflated during the moderate overlap.
the onboard accelerometer determines when to inflate the airbag, maybe it's just a data and algorithm thing
This video are the reason why i'm always feel safe when i'm ridin a W213 and it prooves that Mercedes Benz are just as good as Volvo at making really safe and beautiful cars.
annnnd the rich keep living longer.
Meanwhile the bus doesnt have seat belts..
just get a Subaru or Volvo m8, they are breddy gud too.
is there some special mechanism for seat-belts at the front, why are they so loose?
Look at 13:12
jep. With a complete tight seat belt you will break your neck instead of be stopped by the airbag. Seat belt just need to keep your in seat in case of smoother crashes and overturn
rev if seat belt is very thight you will break all your sternum and probably die
Love the bottom view, so many colors.
This was like Crash test asmr. Most calm crash test I've soon so far
THE DESIGN HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT'S SAFETY. THE BETTER THE ENGINEERING THE BETTER THE PRODUCT. UNDER ALL SITUATIONS THE WORST IS IN THE ANSWER, TO IT'S GREATEST PROBLEMS. FOR THE BEST RESULT'S. GREAT WORK GENTLEMAN..!
It is interesting to see that the test dummy has a XYLOPHONE inside its body.
OPAdmiral its suppoda simulatate a spine
it depends on profession of the dummy. This one is of course a musicien.
; )
It is amazing that it made no sound on impact
That yellow color is so cool
Makes me feel a lot safer seeing this. Fantastic cars
driver survives the crash but when the driver sees the bill for the expensive repairs, around 85% of the value of the car.. goes into a coma 😂😂😂
No, he takes a heart attack
This particular e class saved me and my friend's life 1 year ago at 140km/hr we walked out of this car like nothing happend
And my Toyota Camry V40 in the Top 10 of : World Best Selling Cars, where is your Mercedes, maybe in place 50...xD And the Camry is also safe but he don't need safe my life because I can drive with brain!
4600 downvotes? Why would anyone downvote such a well-made video of a successful test of a great automobile?? Are those all the 12yr old who think it's wasteful to test cars?

0:45 Do you really need that big of a machine to do a proper line?
Actually, you do need one if you want to make a perfectly straight line. I mean PERFECT.
RTYB lol wanted to say same
Go tell that to Mercedes you probably know better😂😅
Thats called CMM machine with marking probably to verify the door surface geometry dispersion before and after collision
I was thinking the same exact thing @Rhodene
0:54 Jurassic Park anyone ?
How fast was it going for the small overlap front crash test.
Super, in 2 years I may be getting one for one quarter of the original price, along with the electrical and mechanical issues.
I bet those black crash test dummies got pulled over
Jesse LZ this is in Germany. Police can pull any one over without a reason, but they rarely do it. Our police is held to very high moral standards. Sorry to ruin the joke.
Why am I watching this, I can't even efford a Mercedes ;(
You can but its gonna be a classic
Du arbeitest bei Mercedes, kommst nach Hause und du so: Ja habe heute wieder ne Nagelneue E-Klasse geschrottet...
This channel is amazing, i got to see a car crash, from many different angels. My brain is happy. Have you ever seen a car crash from below i don't think so
Not so sure if i agree with the rating. The driver hit his head on the A pillar and door.
And what about the neck of the kid at the right rear seat? Doesn't look healthy...
Go pro goes flying at 10:06!
They do that here in Sindelfingen right?
the first blue barrier absorbs a lot of the momentum of the car
Driver would have smashed side window, with his head, because of misshaped airbag or non deploying side airbag. Safest car not very safe, embarrassment to watch. Safety is safety, this is just poorly working airbags in a crash.
why?
Your head is literally an object that needs to be protected in a car crash, why wouldn't you want the side airbags to deploy? It could prevent you from hitting your head on the side window like shown in this video. Side air bags are better than nothing and could save your life even in a frontal crash...
emil posselt And you are an expert in the field of automotive safety for which company? Mercedes (among many others) have an excellent history in improving technology and safety of motor vehicles. So, show us your safety credentials?
U make a good point but that said, Mercedes have an excellent track record in safety and I myself was in a serious crash with an Audi - which I give full credit to for letting me walk away. A similar but worse crash that flipped the car. I didn't sustain any head trauma and although my leg was stuck in the footwell, I walked away after being cut out.
dude, kindly, not to fight.What im going to say may not relate exactly but still important.
There are plenty of videos where Mercedes Autonomous Emergency Braking(AEB) does not perform satisfyingly(Volvo performed better). So, they do make mistakes. Afterall, instead of just asking abt peoples credentials, why not try to educate? It is sad to know if people's eagerness to learn or discuss or share of thoughts must be backed by their credential alone. There is fact and data, and then there is intelligence, questioning(instead of just knowing,accepting,following or memorize factual form) and curiosity which makes us different species on the planet.
The point is just the need to understand .Chill.
so the crash test is performed by mercedes staff
I couldn't agree more. However, some german company car is in trouble faking a lot of tests. As you said, huge company, a lot of money, a lot in stake :)
yes never german big car company ever fake any test :D
dzonikg What about Audi..? u haven't heard about that?
Sorry but emissions are different from safety, nobody cares about the emissions of a car; safety is much more important
Sorry, but at this level of business, money are much more important than safety.
If I were holding those pink chains I would attach them to my belt and scream " I'm superman"
Do they do this kind of stuff with all cars or just the prototypes?
all that "german Precision" mumbo jumbo
Serge Kalische i like that👌
***** That and I also think it's because Mercedes has gained a market of rich people that will buy the car the year it is new, drive it for two years and then get another high end luxury car. They don't really even have to worry about it anymore....
Is this a rolls royce crash test
Driver's head was out as the left window was open, he'd hurt head badly!! 👿
what is the use of those black and white round stickers?
I have multiple W140 Mercedes V12 S600's, crashed into a semi. Semi had more damage than my car. W140 Mercedes V12 is a tank !!
Nice taxi.
U sure that's MORE 5 stars?
Ryan Ryan Why wouldn’t it be more than 5 stars?
Project_Evo why would it be more than 5 stars?
D4rth Hemi The car didn’t violently jerk the passengers forward, the crumple zone worked properly and the frame didn’t fold in on itself. I hope you guys realize that over 5 stars doesn’t mean that the car is unharmed after a crash.
Project_Evo You can't have over 5 stars, when 5 is the maximum. Its like saying it scored 150% in the test.
megaangelic some tests offer extra credit
