Kia Carens Scores A Rather Disappointing 3-Star Safety Rating In Global NCAP, Gets 6-Airbags As Standard-
Kia Carens has got quite some popularity in the MPV segment due to the features and premiumness on offer inside and outside the car. But again Kia has failed in the safety criteria, and Kia Motors ne Carens mein standard 6-airbags diye jaane ke bawajood Kia Carens has passed the test by just scoring passing marks as it has received only 3-star safety rating in the Global Ncap safety crash test. Although safety equipment ki list mein Kia Carens is loaded decently but still the body shell integrity has been marked as unstable jo ek major element hota hain in keeping the passengers safe inside the car during an accident.
2022 Kia Carens Global NCAP Safety Crash Test: All Details-
The Kia Carens scored 3 stars for adult occupant protection and 3 stars for child occupant protection and yeh car made in India model tha and test ke liye Carens ka sabse basic safety equipment waale variant use kiya gaya. It was fitted with two frontal airbags, two side airbags and two side head protection airbags and electronic stability control. But Kia Carens par side impact test perform kiya gaya and it fulfilled the UN95 regulatory.
During the assessment the Carens demonstrated an unstable structure, marginal protection to the driver’s chest and weak protection to the driver’s feet. With this GNCAP ne yeh bhi state kiya that the Kia Carens mein abhi bhi rear seat mein centre passenger ke liye lap seat belt on offer hain instead of a three point seat belt.
Detailed way mein agar discuss kare toh, Kia Carens mein adult safety mein driver and front passenger ke head and neck ko good protection offer hui. The protection offered to the driver’s chest was marginal while passenger’s chest was good. Driver’s and passenger’s knees ke liye marginal protection dekhne ko mila which proved that it can impact with dangerous structures behind the dashboard supported by the transfascia tube. Overall bodyshell ko unstable prove kiya gaya hain which means it can’t withstand further loadings.
Child safety ki agar baat kare toh, child seat for the 3 year old was installed FWF with ISOFIX and top tether and it was not able to prevent excessive head excursion during the impact jisse poor protection offer hui to the head and fair protection to the chest. The vehicle does not offer 3 point belts in all seating positions and ISOFIX child seat mounts in the rear outboard positions but were not marked according to Global NCAP requirements.
Kia Carens ke safety test results par, Global Ncap ke Secretary General ka kehna kuch iss prakar tha:
“Global NCAP welcomes Kia’s decision to make six airbags a standard fit in the Carens ahead of a regulatory requirement. However, we expected a better performance from this model. It remains a cause for concern that global car brands such as Kia, that normally achieve 5 star ratings in other markets, are still not reaching this level in India”.
