Ben, aux tests NCAP, elle ne fait pas lourd non plus, je pense.
(Ok, ces tests sont de plus en plus bidons, mais en général les scores sont surévalués) :
MCC Smart
Test Scores: Front 7 (44%) Side 15 (83%) Overall 22 (65%) Pedestrian 14 (39%)
The Smart’s many unusual features mark it out as a special car. Because of its size a great deal of effort has gone into its safety aspects, but not all work satisfactorily. The car is very strong and stiff in a frontal impact and sustained virtually no damage to the cabin. But the restraint systems have to work hard because of this stiffness and this showed in the loading on the passenger’s chest and the driver’s upper legs. Of concern in the side impact was that the dummy’s head hit the rail above the door. As tests use a passenger dummy it was not possible to test the Smart child restraint, which is made to fit the passenger’s seat.

Frontal Impact
The driver’s and passenger’s airbags worked well but the restraint system for the passenger presented a high risk of injury to his chest. The driver’s shins struck a die-cast beam which runs across the car. Although this has padding and a deformable element in front of it, the loading on one of the driver’s upper legs was still very high. However, the footwell was hardly deformed, presenting little risk to feet and ankles.
Side Impact
The performance of the standard car was good but with a concern that the dummy’s head hit the rail above the door. In this car there was no padding in this area and a more substantial contact could occur with a different size of occupant. The only loss of points to the side impact score was from the abdomen that was loaded by the protruding armrest.
Child Protection
A child restraint can only be fitted in the passenger’s seat, where the airbag poses a very real threat of severe injury or death for a child. Although we did not test the restraint system, the warning to parents about this hazard was inadequate. A child can only be safe in this position if a Smart restraint is used which, when fitted, turns off the airbag. But a universal restraint will also fit: this combination would be lethal.
Pedestrian Protection
Despite the Smart’s size and stiffness, the protection provided for pedestrians was average for this group of cars.
ben si un peu quand même
