Euro NCAP Crash & Safety Tests of Nissan Micra 2024

The Nissan Micra is a corporate twin to the Renault 5, and their structure is practically identical. Euro NCAP compared both vehicles to verify that the Renault 5 results can be applied to the Micra and performed additional tests where necessary. The footage includes video of the Renault 5 2024 and additional Nissan Micra 2025 tests.

Euro NCAP performs a series of crash and safety tests on car models:
▶ a frontal impact test where 50% of the width of the car strikes an oncoming deformable barrier, travelling at 50 km/h
▶ a frontal impact test where the car impacts a full-width rigid barrier
▶ a side impact test where a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door
▶ a pole test where the car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole
▶ a whiplash test performed on a sled.

A series of pedestrian tests is also conducted with different impactors: adult and child head forms and lower and upper leg forms. As well as the AEB pedestrian and cyclist tests. In 2023, a test scenario for Cyclist Dooring Prevention was introduced.

Active safety is rated based on the performance of the car’s equipment, including autonomous emergency braking in car-to-car and car-to-motorcycle scenarios, occupant status monitoring (which encompasses seatbelt reminders, fatigue detection, distraction detection, and impairment detection), lane support, and speed assistance technologies.
