Adult occupant protection

Adult Occupant Protection was, with Pedestrian Protection, the first rating introduced by Euro NCAP. Points are awarded from the frontal, the side and pole impact tests. Modifiers are also given to extend the assessment to cover different sizes of people in a variety of seating positions, in particular for the knee contact area. The Adult Protection score is completed with the result of the Whiplash test that is carried out separately on the driver or passenger seat.
