Euro NCAP Crash & Safety Tests of BMW iX 2021
Euro NCAP performs a series of crash and safety tests on car models:
- a frontal impact test, 50% of the width of the car is striking an oncoming deformable barrier, also travelling at 50 km/h
- a frontal impact test, the car impacts a rigid full width barrier
- a side impact test, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door
- a pole test, the tested car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole and the robustness of the centre airbag is evaluated.
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 as well as AEB pedestrian and cyclist tests.
Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking car-to-car scenarios, occupant status monitoring (including seatbelt reminders), lane support and speed assistance technologies.

I think, this auto-braking function was best, what I have seen here at Euro NCAP site.

you're very brave to comment with a crap korean car on your picture, lol. Not just some of ugliest cars on planet, but even with the lowest quality. Even the chinese companies like byd, hongqi and wey make better vehicles than koreans today.

I didn't know that Euro NCAP does design improvements alongside crash tests. I like what they done to the front side and I'm pretty sure they will keep doing it on BMWs
It looks way better now
Want to see the iX's grille get smashed? This is the video for you.

The bonnet doesn't open, the screenwash bottle is literally below the BMW badge. That was screenwash, not the iX's 'grille'
Didnt know the facelift was out so soon....Love it!
Does the North American version of the iX have the front centre airbag and pop-up hood?
Congrats to BMW
My Buick LeSabre From 2000
the problem with testing electric cars is that the mobile barrier cart is too light compared to the car, the cart bounced backwards from the conservation of momentum. secondly irrespectively of the car, the speed was also reduced in the 2020 protocol from 64 km/h (frontal stationary offset) to 50 km/h. the overlap was also increased from 40% to 50%, so there's also now less rotation and more crumple zone used to absorb the energy. it seems that the test has been relaxed... imo the speed sould at least increase back to what it was and the cart's mass should at least be the same of the tested car.
It did crash less but the rating is worse than the eqs rating?
1:14 the wiper???
Always put BMW on par with Volvo for safety.These artificial tests are all very well but my old E32 735i protected me very well when a lunatic in a van hit me head on at 75 MPH with just one airbag and a pre tensioner.Just a bit of bruising.
BMW iX carbon fiber in a lot of the body frame. It is "technically" 5x stronger than steel due to it being 5x lighter. That is why you see no deformation in the frame during side pole crash test.
the iX looks great and is super safe, what else would you need
0:23 best part when that hideous grille gets hit
From the side, it looks like a 3rd gen V70.
Is the window glasses are designed to shatter outwards?
