THE 2017 MINI COUNTRYMAN IS OFFICIALLY THE SAFEST MINI EVER
MINI has gotten infinitely better at designing for safety – despite the small size. Witness the all new 2017 MINI Countryman which is a full one start better than what is essentially the same car – the Clubman.
What is the Euro NCAP Frontal Impact test? It’s a test that takes place at 64 Km/h, 40% of the width of the car striking a deformable barrier. In the Full Width test, 100% of the width of the car impacts a rigid barrier at 50 Km/h. In the side impact, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver’s door at 50 km/h. In the pole test, the car tested is propelled sideways at 32 km/h into a rigid pole. For many it’s the standard bearer of the world in terms of safety. And in this case it would appear MINI has done literally as well as possible.
