1. Unsurprisingly, the new Land Rover Defender received a five-star rating from Euro NCAP; 2. In terms of adult protection, the new Land Rover Defender It’s not perfect;? 3. The blessing of active safety technology earns points for the Land Rover Defender. The brand-new Land Rover Defender has changed its hard-core impression. In addition to retaining the classic Land Rover Defender elements, a smarter and more luxurious experience also makes it a "dream" for more people.

More exciting videos are available on the Autohome video channel. First, let’s look at the protection of the vehicle’s occupants. In this test, Euro NCAP measured five crash tests through frontal moving dummy car 50% offset collision, frontal 100% overlap rate rigid wall collision, side collision, side pillar collision and whiplash test for seats. Injuries suffered by vehicle occupants in the accident. However, the new Defender's weight of 2,565kg and the stiffer front structure make it not very "friendly" to the impact of counterfeit cars, further lowering the score in this test. This also directly resulted in the Land Rover Defender's final overall adult protection score being not outstanding, only 85%. Compared with the same level of models tested in the past two years, most of the scores were above 90%. In the dummy remote protection project, the Defender failed to prevent the driver from coming into contact with the co-pilot passenger in a side impact, so there was also a certain deduction of points. In the whiplash test for seats, the Land Rover Defender's front and rear seats and head restraints were tested to show they are effective in preventing whiplash injuries in the event of a rear impact. The Defender is equipped with a multi-collision braking system to prevent secondary impacts. In addition, its e-Call system can automatically send a message to the emergency service center in the event of an accident and provide the car's location, which earned it a certain amount of points. Not only that, the Defender can disable the front passenger airbag to allow the use of rearward-facing child restraints in that seating position. Compared with the old Defender, the biggest change in the new Defender is the addition of digital technology, especially the automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, which has given it good ratings in terms of active safety. Not only that, but the Defender also has a "Driver Fatigue Detection" feature that uses steering input to detect if the driver is fatigued and will issue a warning if this is the case. In addition, the Defender's front and rear seats have seat belt reminder functions, and even the optional third-row seats are included. Lane Keeping Systems, on the other hand, gently corrects the vehicle's steering if it drifts out of its lane and intervenes more aggressively in certain emergency situations. Speed ??Assist can use cameras and digital maps to detect local speed limits.

Written at the end: The new Land Rover Defender uses the latest platform and a new body design. While retaining the hardcore style, it has also become more intelligent and incorporated more active safety configurations. This is also The main reason why it was able to obtain a five-star rating from Euro NCAP in Europe. It can be said that the new Land Rover Defender can not only take you out of trouble, but also ensure your safety.
