Cupra and Polestar are young brand names, however both concentrate on the high security of their designs. This was validated by the most current tests carried out by the popular company Euro NCAP. A crossover of the Cupra Formentor compact based upon the Seat Leon and the all-electric Polestar 2 sedan, was evaluated (the vehicle is produced in China by Geely and launched on some markets in Europe, Poland, sadly, is not one of them yet).
Euro NCAP granted the checked designs the list below grades in each classification:
| Example/ Community | Euro NCAP 2021 star score | Adult security (driver and guest) | Child security (guest) | Pedestrian security | Auxiliary systems |
| Cupra Formentor | 5/5 | 93% | 88% | 68% | 80% |
| Polestar 2 | 5/5 | 92% | 89% | 80% | 86% |
Both designs use a really high level of security for tourists and other roadway users who might be struck. In the last case, Polestar in acquiring high marks from Cupra is assisted, to name a few, by an active hood: after spotting the effect of pedestrians and bumpers, a hinged system right away raises the hood by a number of centimeters to eliminate it from the engine therefore increasing the possibility of shock absorption.
Crashtest Euro NCAP– Cupra Formentor and Polestar 2 with main air bags
It is likewise worth keeping in mind that both designs still have a brand-new option, which is a main air bag (situated in between the seats, securing the driver from a crash with a traveler in a side effect). On the other hand, the driver’s side knee pad is used as a choice just for the Formentor (the checked system, nevertheless, did not have one)– the Polestar 2 does not have such a service, even for an added fee. The circumstance is comparable with the rear side air bags.
Both designs likewise have accident avoidance systems that discover pedestrians (consisting of kids) and bicyclists. Euro NCAP specialists ranked the efficiency of these systems a little greater in Polestar (135 points/ 18) than in Cupra (116 points/ 18).
Detailed reports prepared by the Euro NCAP group can be discovered on this Cupry Formentor link and here for the Polestar 2 Below are videos revealing a series of crash tests and operation of support group.
Crashtest Euro NCAP– included by Renault Arkana and Lexus UX 300 e
In addition, Euro NCAP likewise partly checked the designs Renault Arkana and completely electrical Lexus UX 300 e(without crashes). Here, nevertheless, it was based upon the 2019 ranking plan, because these designs are thought about versions of the formerly checked Renault Captura and Lexus UX (formerly checked as a hybrid 250 h). They are not completely similar to the notes provided to Cupra and Polestar.
| Example/ Community | Euro NCAP 2019 star score | Adult defense (driver and traveler) | Child security (guest) | Pedestrian defense | Auxiliary systems |
| Renault Arkana | 5/5 | 96% | 83% | 75% | 74% |
| Lexus UX 300 e | 5/5 | 96% | 85% | 82% | 77% |
Euro NCAP is continuously reinforcing its screening treatments. The last significant upgrade of the requirements happened in 2020, i.e. the outcomes of the Cupry Formentor and Polestar 2 are compared to all tests performed in the previous year.
