C-Class crash tests
The new C-class does well in this rear offset crashtest super computer simulation.
This front offset crashtest simulation shows slightly more damage than the '03 E-class.
The side-impact crash test is legally required, but DaimlerChrysler performs many more, other crash tests, to come close to real-world crash performance.
The cutout in the hood allows a direct view of the engine compartment during the crash, to validate the anti-bunching design. The crash performance is very good.
Crash performance is optimized with supercomputer crash simulation.
The rollover strength test.
This is a rear offset crash test with the old C-Class (W202).
