ADAC Small Car Crash Test - Only the smart fortwo Protects Against Life-threatening Injuries


One of the two greatest questions anyone will ask (or rather just assume) about the smart fortwo is, "Is it safe?"


Despite hundreds of documented real world data and lab crash tests, many still say no (why??). Some of those people bring a good point too. When it comes to crashing usually the small car will always takes the most energy, the most damage, and more likely injures to its occupants. With some of the best selling vehicles in America being the Ford F-150 that can be quite scary for many prospective buyers.


Back in September the ADAC conducted a test with the smallest vehicles on sale, the smart fortwo, KIA Picanto, and the Renault Twingo. They collided with a sled (weighing about the same as the average mid size sedan) at 50km/h with a 50% offset.
