Euro NCAP performs a series of safety tests focusing on the crash avoidance technologies of light commercial vehicles.
Active safety is tested based on the van’s equipment: Autonomous Emergency Braking Systems (Car-to-Car, Pedestrian, and Cyclist scenarios), lane support and speed assist technologies, and Occupant Status Monitoring (Attention Assist and Seatbelt Reminders).
Tested here is the Mercedes-Benz Citan - Citan Panel Van 1.3 litre, 96 kW petrol.
The Citan Panel Van is well equipped with standard-fit passive safety equipment such as airbags. However, much of the active safety equipment is available only as an option. This is disappointing, as it comes as standard on the T-Class and EQT, the passenger versions of the van. Nevertheless, the ADAS is high-functioning and performs well in Euro NCAP's tests, offering a Platinum level of safety to those willing to pay for the options.
