    The Mercedes E class was re-engineered for the 2007 model year with an emphasis on improving occupant protection in side impact crashes. Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Mercedes as part of frontal crash test verification.

Restraints/dummy kinematics

    Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail.

Injury measures

    Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.

    The Mercedes E class was re-engineered for the 2007 model year with an emphasis on improving occupant protection in side impact crashes. In the Institute’s initial test of a 2007 model, the car was rated Acceptable, primarily because of high forces recorded on the driver dummy's torso.
    Beginning with 2007 models manufactured after May 2007, changes to the front door trim panels were made to further improve occupant protection in side impact crashes, so a test of the improved design was conducted (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door). This test showed some reduction of the forces on the driver dummy's torso, but not enough to change the torso injury rating or the overall rating. Therefore the ratings for both vehicles are based on both tests.

Injury measures

    Driver — In both tests, measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures and a fracture of the pelvis would be possible in a crash of this severity. In the first test, internal organ injuries would also be possible.
    Rear passenger — In both tests, measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.

Head protection

    Driver — The dummy’s head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof and a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
    Rear passenger — The dummy’s head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof and a side airbag that deployed from the door.

Защита пешеходов  

    У нового Е-класса прочный кузов, который обеспечивает надежную защиту. Но двухуровневые ограничители нагрузки ремней безопасности не уберегли манекенов водителя и пассажира от перегрузки. Автомобиль оснащен системой напоминания о непристегнутом ремне для водителя и переднего пассажира. Безопасность пассажиров-детей на высоком уровне, детские кресла практически полностью соответствуют требованиям EuroNCAP. Защита пешеходов получила неудовлетворительную оценку.

    The Mercedes E Class was redesigned for the 2003 model year. 2003 E Class models manufactured after December 2002 include structural changes to improve occupant protection in frontal offset crashes. (Note: Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door.)
    The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has evaluated the crashworthiness of an E Class with the structural changes in a 40 mph frontal offset crash test into a deformable barrier.

Restraints/dummy kinematics

    Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head moved partway out the open window and hit the B-pillar and window frame.

Injury measures

    Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head acceleration from the B-pillar/window frame hit was low.

    The Mercedes E class was redesigned for the 1996 model year.
    All 1997 and later E class models manufactured after January 1997 include structural changes to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes. Additional structural changes were made beginning with 2000 E class models manufactured after January 2000 (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door).

    При первоначальном тестировании левое переднее колесо вмялось внутрь ниши для ног. Производитель усовершенствовал модель и провел повторные испытания. Автомобилю не хватило всего лишь нескольких баллов, чтобы получить оценку в четыре звезды. По словам производителя, изменения уже внесены во все автомобили, которые сходят с конвейера. Хотя в зоне удара коленей нет жестких элементов, сместившаяся педаль тормоза травмоопасна для голеностопа. Автомобиль соответствует требованиям безопасности при боковом ударе, которые действуют с октября 1998 года. При первоначальном тестировании в 1998 году автомобилю не хватило нескольких баллов до оценки в четыре звезды. После того, как в систему оценок EuroNCAP был включен «столбовой» тест, производитель оплатил испытание автомобиля, чтобы убедиться в эффективности подушки для защиты головы. Подушка справилась со своей задачей, и усовершенствованная модель получила оценку в четыре звезды. Подушка для защиты головы относится к типу «занавес» и входит в стандартную комплектацию с 1999 года.

    The Mercedes E class was redesigned for the 1996 model year. All 1997-2000 E class models manufactured after January 1997 but before February 2000 include structural changes to improve protection in frontal crashes. Additional structural changes were made beginning with the 2000 E class models manufactured after January 2000, so the listed ratings do not apply to the latest models (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door).
    The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has evaluated the crashworthiness of of a 1997 model E 420 with the first set of structural changes in a 40 mph frontal offset crash test into a deformable barrier.

Restraints/dummy kinematics

    Dummy movement wasn't well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the window sill. There was too much upward movement of the steering wheel. Late in the crash, the driver door opened. This opening didn't significantly affect dummy movement during the test but shouldn't happen because, in some crashes, it could allow partial or complete occupant ejection.

Injury measures

    Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head acceleration from the window sill hit was low.
