Verdict

The passenger compartment of the e-Mehari remained stable in the frontal offset test.  Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger.  However, structures in the dashboard were considered a risk to the knees and femurs of occupants of different statures and to those sat in different positions, and the score was penalised.  In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of all critical parts of the body was good or adequate for both the driver and the rear passenger.  In the side barrier impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the e-Mehari scored maximum points.  In the more severe side pole impact, dummy readings of rib compression indicated marginal protection of the chest, but that of the rest of the body was good.  Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated marginal whiplash protection in the event of a rear-end collision.  A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated poor whiplash protection there.

In the frontal offset test, protection of the chest of the 6-year dummy was rated as marginal while that of all other body areas was good or adequate for both dummies.  In the side barrier test, protection of all critical body regions was rated as good.  The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position.  However, the information provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag is not sufficiently clear, and the system was not rewarded.  Accordingly, rearward-facing restraints failed the installation check for the front passenger seat.  In addition, the owner's manual indicates that ISO/R3 restraints are not suitable for the rear outboard seats.  Otherwise, restraints could be properly installed and accommodated.

The protection provided by the bonnet to the head of a struck pedestrian was no better than adequate and was poor in many test areas.  Protection of pedestrians' legs was predominantly adequate while that of the pelvis was good.

The e-Mehari as a seatbelt reminder system for the front and rear seats.  Otherwise, it has no driver assistance features that qualify for assessment by Euro NCAP.
