@@DashCamSerbia First of all, be a grown-up and watch your language, second, the criteria for the rating keeps changing over the years. So you cannot simply compare a 1 star rating today, with a 1 start rating 10 years ago. Have a nice day.
@@DashCamSerbia What I see that drags it's score down is the Vulnerable Road Users score and Safety Assist score which didn't exist a couple years ago. Other than that it's a 50% safe car so it's about a 2 and a half star car if you exclude the last two criterias. The car is definetly not something that you want to be in if there is an accident but as a city car except for the forward colition impact I think you will do fine. That being said I still wouldn't buy such a small car because low safety is something that's always present in small cars vs bigger cars. A sping vs an SUV (both electric heavy cars) in a frontal colition would be pushed asside or backwords by the SUV which would only do more damage to the passengers while the SUV's passengers will have a small shock but nothing dangerous. It's the same if you crash a Cayenne in a Logal for example.
Looks good but the passenger protection isn't. Check the report and you'll see the protection is rated poor for the chest and the upper leg area in the frontal offset test. It may not be as bad as 2010s 1 star rated car but I really don't think it would achieve 5 stars even back then

It's litteraly the cheapest electric car of the market as now, it is a budget car. For the rest just ask your government to offer you better incentives to buy a clean car, in some European countries the Spring cost under 10k€ when you remove the state or local incentives 😉
@@manu.yt25 bro are you rtarded? Do you also buy safety against other vehicles smashing into you without your fault? No you don't and that's where these safety things will come into play wether you like it or not
still safer than an Golf mk4, or Passat b6, which are predominantly on the Romanian roads XD. And tbh, its not even that bad, considering that Dacia lost points mainly bcs of the active saftey systems. But if you look at the older standards it could score an 3 star(like te VW e-up!).
From tests, it looks like a 3 star car but there will be always room for improvments (the only weakness are the basic things that are very cheap or the lack of basic stuff)
Safer than the ZOE. I wasn't expecting that spring will have only 1 Star as Its the most unsafe EV Crossover. Hence why it's the cheapest EV in europe but the thing is it keeps getting popular across Europe 😢
The spring is based on an extremely cheap indian market car, the renault quid. The body wasn't really designed for the european market, so this could be the reason why it only got 1 star. ua-cam.com/video/a3Xiw-xP3HA/v-deo.html crash test of the quid back in 2016
This would have been 4 or 5 stars 10 years ago. Structurally it's solid, it's just that the airbag tuning and seat belt tuning aren't the best so forces are quite high and sudden. These new star systems are overly dramatic.
It’s a cool deal if the gov gives you money, but otherwise 18.000€ for this is way too much when you can get a Sandero for 10.000€ which is bigger, safer and ofc has more range than the max 200km of Spring.
@@mihnealazar7039 I think the Spring would sell well if it came to Britain. Cos I think there’s a huge number of people in this country that would buy an electric car for around £15,500.
I still don’t understand why it received just 32% in Assist Systems, since it worked perfectly well. And I don’t even understand the one star, since the crumple zone worked, airbags deployed, there was no severe A-pillar damadge, nor steering wheel or pedals hitting the driver.
I guess they counted what the car DOESN'T have, like steering assistance, driver monitoring and all that. Would that be possible in that car? Shure. But no one would pay 30.000€ for that. edit: Ah yes. "Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking car-to-car scenarios, occupant status monitoring (including seatbelt reminders), lane support and speed assistance technologies." Since it has no lane support and speed assistance they just gave 0 stars.
@@5Stringslinger my car (a 2009 Mercedes) has no AEB, no lane assist, no radar. It costed 50k € back then, but the 5 stars from 2007 would be likely 1 or even 0 stars today
I don't understand why they give it 1 star. Frontal deformation is ok, interior is intact, occupant kinematic is good, airbag absortion seems ok, side curtain airbag looks good, displacement ok, AEB looks good to....
If this one star and ZOE zero stars then I have no idea what is 5* today. Ejector seat with a parachute? This seems like a very solid car with a lot of airbags.
I mean just like 10 years ago a one start car would mean that the roof would cave in and the A-pillar completely collapse. So this really doesn't look that bad at all.
Not 10 years ago Jens, you would have to go back to the mid nineties for that. By 2005 Renault had an all 5 * rating Seems NCAP are moving goalposts all the time, safe is safe, no matter what slant they may put on it

Because of missing assistance systems that euroncap thinks should be mandatory… no seatbelts blinkers in the back? Oh, no!!! One star minus! No active lane keeping! Oh noooooo! Two stars missing! Although this is clearly a city car and it wouldn’t benefit from many active assistance systems that euroncap thinks it should be “mandatory”. Hey, look, a shitty golf, with worse plastics than a 30 years old low! Let’s give it 5 stars because of useless systems!
For that price you'd be far better off and safer in an used premium car... I don't get what's wrong with some people, 1 star is absolutely horrible, a driving death trap whenever you're above 80-100kph...
I really appreciate all the work NCAP does but que stars issue MUST be addressed. This car has okay safety. Much better than some cars of old that if we check the archives have very good ratings. And yet, if I'm in the market for a car and I compare this car's rating versus an old car's one the old one will look much better. THIS IS A PROBLEM!! I don't care that this has one 2021 stars and the other has 4 2007 stars. Like what does that even mean? Create a point system. Do something about it. Because the way you are presenting your results is misleading at best. The constant introduction of new technology is only going to make the scoring issue even worse, with old results being less and less significant. So it's about time it gets fixed. Regards
Why are you not comparing it to a Horse carriage? it's safer than those as well. What's this mentality of comparing it to cars from 10~20 years ago. We are in 2022 and the standards have improved from back then. There was a time when airbags were optional, or when pedestrian safety was not a thing. Things improve and for improvement we need to keep our standards higher and higher.
@@daemiax you get much more sfatey per dolar spent than in other cars. That's the point. The fact that you have automated braking system it's already mind-blowing for this price imo.
Airbags are like getting punched with boxing gloves. They are not soft, they are just much softer than directly impacting metal or plastic with your body. Additionally, there's the loud noise of the explosion that creates the gases that fill the airbag, which can cause hearing loss, and the hot gasses themselves, which can cause burns as the airbags deflate almost immediately after being deployed.
Surely the majority of accidents are vehicle to vehicle. Why are all the tests done hitting or being hit by solid objects? The thing hitting the car should have deformation zones as well.
I have an 11,000 euro carbon fiber bike with 0 protection, and you will complain about the car being cheaper than a bicycle, I see that the driver's and passenger seat is good , the car is for the city, the speed is the same as a bicycle so it's ok
Funny how this car cost £6046.75 OTR in India (RHD) as Tata Nexon, and in China (LHD) as Renault K-ZE, they bring to Europe and sell it for £22,500 claiming it is "Additional" Euro Ncap safety which adds to the cost. Where have they spent the £16,453.24? May as well import three Tata Nexons, you would have change and same chance of survival.
@@paname514 you won't find them. The same car with a normal engine would cost the half. They could produce better products for better prices, but there is no need to. There are high bonuses which make them sellable...
I think you are putting too much value in active safety system. I believe that 20% at most should be the active safety systems, the rest is up to the chasis, driver and various passive safety systems, which this car has and I don't see any huge problem with how it performs.
Hey this car (with all the aid from the gov ) costs 6k €, i cant complain for that price. You basically get a electric gokart with bluetooth speakers and an umbrella....
Wouldn’t bother me in the slightest. We seem obsessed with reducing risks to zero. What happens if you’re hit from behind at speed? None of the these cars are tested for that. 🤷♂️
then the car would roll forwards, with the kinetic energy transferred from one car to another. the main risk of injury is therefore whiplash which was tested. unless you reverse into a brick wall, they won't test this kind of rare crash.
So it is a very safe car then. Certainly looks as safe as it can be. Not much you can do about side impacts but head on the passenger Shell stayed in one piece so doors could open and passengers get or be taken out which in my mind is good. Just as good as the first 5 star NCAP car in 2001 the Renault Laguna or any cars after it. I would have no problem being a passenger or a driver in this Dacia.
A completely non-deformable car would look "safe as can be", but the protection would be horrible. This car has a high risk of severe chest/pelvis/leg injuries in the offset test and head injuries in the full-width test.
Didnt look bad. The cars are not meant to colide, this car is a pure city car is not meant to travel long distances, so in a city the risk of a colision that can kill you is slim even for a 1 star car. The max speed is 50km/h, almost everyday i get traffic jam so i doubt people can colide and die in a city. Outside the city in highways is a different story but this car is not ready to go outside the city it has 200km range, in highways maybe 160km range, you cant go far with that range, its a pure city car
Euro NCAP is no longer relevevent. They are supposed to check the structural safety of the car and of the passive and active safety devices like airbags and seat belts are doing there job. As long as a cars passenger compartment stays structurly sound and mostly in one piece and the airbags as well as seat belts and other systems designed to protect passengers in the passenger cell do there job and thievery from the crash is disapoted around the cell then to me that car van whatever is safe. All this bullshit about its not safe all of a sudden because it does not have lane detectors or whatever is rubbish. A Renault Zoe is still a very safe car. NCAP you seriously need to sort your shit out. They done the same the the Fiat Punto when it was a very safe car. Have a separate test for electronics if needs be but people should be able to drive without all these electronic gimis that add nothing. Rant over.
90% of the comments: COMPARED TO A CAR FROM 1885 this car should not get such bad rating. (Probably commented using a Smartphone not older than 5 years)
It looses points because the new regulations count electronic aids, witch the dacia is last of his kind to not have all the electric assistance. So without that new regulations it would have been better
This car may look like the renault kwid but kwid is safer than spring as the kwid may have 2 stars the spring has 1 star but good job both renaylt and dacia
Now compare it to an used premium brand car, they're much better and safer... I would't feel safe in such a tin can... (used to be a mechanic. have seen lots of crashed cars, and like it or not, premium cars are safer. One particular example, one guy literally flew off the autobahn into the woods, car was completely trash, but thanks to half a dozen airbags and engineering, dude hadn't even a scratch... (2017 E-Class sedan)
One star? Wow, like 10 years ago this would've been 4 or 5 stars. This little car did good, better than most city cars. Maybe some bias because it's only a "Dacia"? Or maybe Volvo standards of safety are mandatory for every single car nowadays?
Its sad that all these EURO NCAP stars is related to these days is technology. You can have the most secure car ever made, but if it lacks one safety system like auto braking for pedestrians, it automatically removes 3 stars. Its not the people around the car we are supposed to save, its those travelling inside the car. If a human jumps right infront of a car that is traveling in 50kmh, those safety systems isnt gonna work either way. This test of the Dacia Spring seemed actually pretty good to be a small car, ive seen worse NCAP tests!
Seeing 1 start I was expecting to see the car completely wrecked! But there is certainly a reason for not having more stars... i just wonder how Renault, being the owner of Dacia and having much safer cars, allowed the Spring to go out to the market with only 1 star! Many people won't buy it because of that! If it had 3 stars I would buy it but 1 star... hell no!

At Dacia Spring, I expected that, because it's really cheap, but ZOÉ? I didn't expect that...
Zoe is not cheap ;)
In Romania, it cost over 30k€! So it costs 10k+ more than Spring.
still safer than an Golf mk4, or Passat b6, which are predominantly on the Romanian roads XD. And tbh, its not even that bad, considering that Dacia lost points mainly bcs of the active saftey systems. But if you look at the older standards it could score an 3 star(like te VW e-up!).
Yeah! Before it actually scored 3 or 4 stars.
My Friend has name Zoe 🤣
From tests, it looks like a 3 star car but there will be always room for improvments (the only weakness are the basic things that are very cheap or the lack of basic stuff)
Safer than the ZOE. I wasn't expecting that spring will have only 1 Star as Its the most unsafe EV Crossover. Hence why it's the cheapest EV in europe but the thing is it keeps getting popular across Europe 😢
Hi, Lucky! I actually expected that poor safety. I am upset and also interested that Spring is safer than a Zoe.
@@costipredoiu hi!
This is because the Zoe they tested did not have the full side curtain airbags that this Dacia has. I'm not sure why Renault removed them.
The spring is based on an extremely cheap indian market car, the renault quid. The body wasn't really designed for the european market, so this could be the reason why it only got 1 star. ua-cam.com/video/a3Xiw-xP3HA/v-deo.html crash test of the quid back in 2016
Funny how Zoe got 5 stars in 2013 but 1 star in 2021. The side curtains are standard on all Zoe's now though, so it is definitely better now.
Good news! The Dacia Spring EV gets a 1 star rated crash test!
GREAT!
@@dncviorel Anyway...
This would have been 4 or 5 stars 10 years ago. Structurally it's solid, it's just that the airbag tuning and seat belt tuning aren't the best so forces are quite high and sudden. These new star systems are overly dramatic.
except the A pillar is bending and the 2010 cars with a bend A pillar wouldn't get a 5 star...

I still don’t understand why it received just 32% in Assist Systems, since it worked perfectly well. And I don’t even understand the one star, since the crumple zone worked, airbags deployed, there was no severe A-pillar damadge, nor steering wheel or pedals hitting the driver.
I guess they counted what the car DOESN'T have, like steering assistance, driver monitoring and all that.
Would that be possible in that car? Shure. But no one would pay 30.000€ for that.
edit:
Ah yes.
"Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking car-to-car scenarios, occupant status monitoring (including seatbelt reminders), lane support and speed assistance technologies."
Since it has no lane support and speed assistance they just gave 0 stars.

Go look at the Euro Ncap pdf. For example, some dummies had POOR protection for head, pelvis or neck.
@@bogdan6755 correct, can’t have great ratings on cheap cars …. The ‘premium’ marques won’t like that at all
I don't understand why they give it 1 star. Frontal deformation is ok, interior is intact, occupant kinematic is good, airbag absortion seems ok, side curtain airbag looks good, displacement ok, AEB looks good to....
If this one star and ZOE zero stars then I have no idea what is 5* today. Ejector seat with a parachute? This seems like a very solid car with a lot of airbags.
And severe injuries in the frontal test... READ THE REPORT, GODDAMN IT! STRUCTURE IS NOT EVERYTHING!
I mean just like 10 years ago a one start car would mean that the roof would cave in and the A-pillar completely collapse. So this really doesn't look that bad at all.
Not 10 years ago Jens, you would have to go back to the mid nineties for that. By 2005 Renault had an all 5 * rating
Seems NCAP are moving goalposts all the time, safe is safe, no matter what slant they may put on it
If you usually drive a motorbike this car is the safest thing ever made.
Or a 15-year-old car for that matter...
Compared to my father's 2000 Toyota Corolla, the Dacia Spring seems like a Volvo in safety!
Bingo
Not bad. The passenger compartment remains intact in the frontal crash, and brake assist work well. That's the most important.
Wrong. Read the report, it is horrible. Poor protection for the chect and pelvis...

Create a point system. Do something about it. Because the way you are presenting your results is misleading at best.
The constant introduction of new technology is only going to make the scoring issue even worse, with old results being less and less significant. So it's about time it gets fixed.
Regards
Scores must be adjusted just like prices are adjusted for inflation for long-periods comparison. Otherwise the analysis would be completely useless.
I completely agree!
It's a shame that it is not being done like that already...
Why are you not comparing it to a Horse carriage? it's safer than those as well.
What's this mentality of comparing it to cars from 10~20 years ago. We are in 2022 and the standards have improved from back then. There was a time when airbags were optional, or when pedestrian safety was not a thing. Things improve and for improvement we need to keep our standards higher and higher.
Yeah so we can get killed in dacia
@@daemiax you get much more sfatey per dolar spent than in other cars. That's the point. The fact that you have automated braking system it's already mind-blowing for this price imo.

Do side air beg cause any harm when they get suddenly opened?
Airbags are like getting punched with boxing gloves. They are not soft, they are just much softer than directly impacting metal or plastic with your body. Additionally, there's the loud noise of the explosion that creates the gases that fill the airbag, which can cause hearing loss, and the hot gasses themselves, which can cause burns as the airbags deflate almost immediately after being deployed.
Now bring it to the UK under 12K - Thanks.

Wouldn’t bother me in the slightest. We seem obsessed with reducing risks to zero. What happens if you’re hit from behind at speed? None of the these cars are tested for that. 🤷♂️
then the car would roll forwards, with the kinetic energy transferred from one car to another. the main risk of injury is therefore whiplash which was tested. unless you reverse into a brick wall, they won't test this kind of rare crash.
I will still buy it
yeah it is not a bad car
There is a material that springs back into shape, why don't they use it with cars?
is this renault captur?
So it is a very safe car then. Certainly looks as safe as it can be. Not much you can do about side impacts but head on the passenger Shell stayed in one piece so doors could open and passengers get or be taken out which in my mind is good. Just as good as the first 5 star NCAP car in 2001 the Renault Laguna or any cars after it. I would have no problem being a passenger or a driver in this Dacia.

A completely non-deformable car would look "safe as can be", but the protection would be horrible. This car has a high risk of severe chest/pelvis/leg injuries in the offset test and head injuries in the full-width test.
Not the same for the Renault Kwid, the brazilian version of this car, here we do not have airbags on the sides, only for the driver and the passenger
For me looks good ....I don't know how they give starts now .....but 10y ago if a car looks like that after crash takes 5* plus 🤣🤣
$8.000 electic car 1 star looks okey to me 😊
How many card they destroy for testing a model?
Didnt look bad. The cars are not meant to colide, this car is a pure city car is not meant to travel long distances, so in a city the risk of a colision that can kill you is slim even for a 1 star car. The max speed is 50km/h, almost everyday i get traffic jam so i doubt people can colide and die in a city. Outside the city in highways is a different story but this car is not ready to go outside the city it has 200km range, in highways maybe 160km range, you cant go far with that range, its a pure city car
Now you have to pay for the stars.
Why don't you try crash speed above 60 km/h? Cause that's how people drive in Romania, way above the speed limit.
Doesn't exist.
Why doesn't eroncap practice small overlap crash test as the americans do?

You didn't read the pdf report if you think that....
Euro NCAP is no longer relevevent. They are supposed to check the structural safety of the car and of the passive and active safety devices like airbags and seat belts are doing there job. As long as a cars passenger compartment stays structurly sound and mostly in one piece and the airbags as well as seat belts and other systems designed to protect passengers in the passenger cell do there job and thievery from the crash is disapoted around the cell then to me that car van whatever is safe. All this bullshit about its not safe all of a sudden because it does not have lane detectors or whatever is rubbish. A Renault Zoe is still a very safe car. NCAP you seriously need to sort your shit out. They done the same the the Fiat Punto when it was a very safe car. Have a separate test for electronics if needs be but people should be able to drive without all these electronic gimis that add nothing. Rant over.

one star dacia duster turkey price 364.900tl-483,900tl :)
Its sad that all these EURO NCAP stars is related to these days is technology. You can have the most secure car ever made, but if it lacks one safety system like auto braking for pedestrians, it automatically removes 3 stars. Its not the people around the car we are supposed to save, its those travelling inside the car. If a human jumps right infront of a car that is traveling in 50kmh, those safety systems isnt gonna work either way. This test of the Dacia Spring seemed actually pretty good to be a small car, ive seen worse NCAP tests!
Seeing 1 start I was expecting to see the car completely wrecked! But there is certainly a reason for not having more stars... i just wonder how Renault, being the owner of Dacia and having much safer cars, allowed the Spring to go out to the market with only 1 star! Many people won't buy it because of that! If it had 3 stars I would buy it but 1 star... hell no!
