Jaguar XE Crash Tests

The passenger compartment of the Jaguar XE remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger dummies. Jaguar showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different seating positions. In the full-width rigid barrier impact, protection of the driver and rear passenger was good for all critical body regions except the chest, protection of which was adequate. The XE scored maximum points in the side barrier impact, with good protection of all critical body areas. In the more severe side pole test, chest protection was adequate and that of other body regions was again good. In Euro NCAP's tests, the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated marginal whiplash protection for the occupants of those seats. The XE has a standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system which provides additional protection against whiplash at low, city speeds. The system performed well in Euro NCAP's tests.
The XE scored maximum points for its protection of the 1½ year dummy in the dynamic impact tests. In the frontal offset test, forward movement of the 3 year dummy, sat in a forward-facing restraint, was not excessive and protection was good except for marginally elevated neck tension. In the side barrier impact, both dummies were properly contained in the protective shells of their restraints, minimising the likelihood of head contact with parts of the vehicle interior. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearwardfacing restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the restraint types for which the XE is designed could be correctly installed and accommodated in the car.
