A five-star safety rating has been awarded the new Mercedes-Benz EQE by the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).
High scores were awarded to the EQE for the crash protection offered to vehicle occupants. Assessed against ANCAP’s 2020-2022 protocols, the EQE achieved the second highest score for adult occupant protection (95%) and equalled the second highest score for child occupant protection (92%).
The Mercedes-Benz EQE is fitted with a full suite of airbags, including a driver knee airbag, centre airbag to reduce the risk of occupant injury when a vehicle is struck on the opposite side, and head and chest-protecting airbags in both seating rows.
Strong scores were also shown for the protection offered to vulnerable road users, and its collision avoidance capability.
