Euro NCAP Crash & Safety Tests of Opel/Vauxhall Combo-e Life 2018 - Update

Update 2022: The Opel/Vauxhall Combo-e Life is a corporate twin to the Peugeot e-Rifter. The e-Rifter is a variant of the Rifter, tested in 2018. Some additional tests and checks have been done to ensure that the rating of the Rifter applies to the electric variant and therefore also to the Combo-e Life.

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 and safety tests on car models:
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.
