New SsangYong Korando scores five out of five stars in Euro NCAP crash test

Drivers are on the safe side in the new SsangYong Korando: The fourth model generation of the compact SUV scores five out of five stars in the Euro NCAP crash test. The top rating underscores the high level of safety, which is due to the advanced assistance systems and the high rigidity of the new edition. The independent testing organization rates the protection of adult occupants at 88 percent and that of children at 85 percent - two top values. In both a frontal crash and a side impact, the driver and other passengers are well protected. Seven airbags reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident, including a knee airbag for the driver. The equally good pedestrian protection is mainly due to the automatic emergency braking system, which reliably detects cyclists and pedestrians in addition to other road users. In any case, the new Korando impresses with numerous camera- and radar-based "Deep Control" safety systems that support the driver in everyday driving and point out potential hazards. In addition to the automatic emergency braking system, a lane departure warning system and a lane change assistant are available, as well as a drowsiness and traffic sign recognition system and an exit assistant. It warns the driver of vehicles approaching from behind when the door is opened. The high-beam assistant, which is also offered, also switches automatically between high and low beams, thus increasing visibility and visibility at night.
