Taycan as Porsche’s first pure electric car, the Porsche brand is an important milestone towards new energy sources, from the date of exposure to this model received a great deal of attention. Recently, E-NCAP Porsche announced its first pure electric vehicle Taycan collision results, the new car got 5 star ratings, then we look at the evaluation of the E-NCAP Porsche Taycan given.
Porsche Taycan in September of this year, launched a total of 2 models, the price range of 149.80-179.80 million. It is reported that, as of this release, Porsche Taycan has received about 30,000 orders, one-third of orders from China.

Further, in terms of charge, Taycan charging power of 270kW, charging 100km 5 minutes increasing endurance.
● About Euro-NCAP
Euro-NCAP car safety evaluation namely the European Association of automobile industry’s most authoritative safety certification organization, founded in 1997, by the European seven-governmental organizations. Mainly by the British Transport Research Laboratory and the UK Department of Transport. France, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands and Catalonia then – part of Spain also joined the organization.
NCAP New Car Assessment Program English abbreviation, i.e., car crash test. NCAP test is the best test of the safety car, these lawRecognized as the most stringent regulations in a EURO-NCAP test of the EU. Since 2009, EuroNCAP with a single star for each vehicle model to evaluate the maximum of 5 stars. For the evaluation of the safety of vehicles consists of four parts, adult protection, child protection, pedestrian protection and safety assist systems. The overall score is the score calculated from the test weighted four parts, but also to ensure that each part can not be less than the entire star.
involved in testing models: 2019 Porsche Taycan 4S Performance
In the European NCAP standard Taycan the basic performance in excellent level of protection in the adult score of 85 points, the protection of children scored 83 points; and in the protection of pedestrian safety, Model 3 score is 70 points; scored 73 points in the safety assist category.
mounted Taycan security configuration:
As can be seen from the security configuration, Taycan active and passive safety with a more complete, air bags, anti-collision aid, such as security configuration, speed assist, lane assist etc did not fall, the overall configuration is very comprehensive.
Adult Protective test results
data display, Taycan in adult protection, the overall performance is more excellent.
During frontal offset crash, the driver and passenger knee and femur were well protected; in full frontal crash test, the rear passengers in addition to the chest in addition, the protection of all critical areas of the body are good or adequate;
in the side impact, the protection of all critical areas of the body are very good, almost get a perfect score. After whipping the touch test, the protection of the chest was adequate to protect other parts of the body is good.
child protection test results
in the protection of children, positive offset tests, in addition to the 6-year-old child dummy’s neck to protect all critical areas of the body very good, according to the measured tension dummy protect the neck was rated as edge protection. In the side barrier test, protection of all critical areas of the body are very good, Taycan the highest score in this part of the assessment.
In addition, the front airbags may be closed to allow a rear facing child safety seat is installed, but the generic child seat can not be stably disposed in the middle of the back on the seat, only the second row of seats is equipped on both sides and i-Size Isofix mounting a child safety seat for use.
pedestrian protection test results
pedestrian protection, testing and evaluation can be seen divided into head, pelvis and legs three parts. Test, the sensor detects whether a pedestrian the bumper is hit, the actuator will lift the bonnet to provide greater clearance for the rigid structure of the engine compartment. Porsche studies show, in a different attitude and pedestrians of different speed ranges, the actuator can work very well, so the test is performed in a case where the hood is in the raised position, cover almost all of the test positions of the valve protection is adequate.
The bumper well protected pedestrian’s leg, the protection of the pelvis is also very good. Taycan mounted on AEB system can detect pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles. In the test, the system’s response to the rider well, avoid or mitigate collision in most cases, enough reaction to pedestrians. Comprehensive score look, Taycan for pedestrian protection can be said more in place.
Auxiliary system safety test results
The last test is a safety support system, Taycan the front and rear The seat belt reminder system equipped. AEB system in response to the test well on the highway the other vehicle performance. Lane support system to help prevent inadvertent lane departure.
Auxiliary system speed video cameras and digital maps to identify the local speed limit, and provides this information to the driver, so that the system can be appropriately adjusted speed. Overall, Taycan overall performance in this project is also very good.
Next, a video recording process in the Porsche Taycan test E-NCAP criteria:
Porsche Taycan assessed not to get out of 5 stars accident, as Porsche milestone towards a new energy revolution works, Porsche above have devoted themselves to the absolute number, but as a traditional brand into a new energy force, pure electric vehicles using conventional fuel vehicles and components is still a great the difference. Although the Taycan get a five-star rating, but in the position after the five-star migraine year E-NCAP rankings, and 3, there is a slight gap between the performance of Model S Tesla Model, Porsche can look forward to the future impact on electric vehicle safety on further.
