The rating of Citroën Berlingo and Opel/Vauxhall Combo
are based on tests done on the Peugeot Rifter, with which they are identical apart from some visual features, which affect only pedestrian impact test performance. Data reviewed by Euro NCAP demonstrates that the results of all tests performed on the Rifter are valid also for Berlingo/Combo. Available content includes video of the Peugeot Rifter, accompanied by still images and datasheet.
Euro NCAP performs a series of crash tests on each model tested:
- a frontal impact test, the car impacts a rigid barrier
- an offset frontal impact test, 40% of the width of the car is striking a deformable barrier
- a pole test, the tested car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole
- a side impact test, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door
A series of pedestrian tests are conducted with different impactors, adult and child head form, lower and upper leg form and whiplash tests are performed on a sled.
Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking systems (car to car, with a pedestrian and a cyclist target), lane support and speed assist technologies and seatbelt reminders.
