Toyota Yaris Crash Test Ratings
#2 of 15 Euro crash testing by jdorff Jan 11, 2006 (5:55 am)
The Yaris does very well in Euro crash testing: http://www.euroncap.com/images/results/superminis/car_246_2005/Toyota%20Yaris%20- Datasheet.pdf Much higher than a Honda Fit/Jazz. Of course, this is because the Yaris is a fresh platform while the Fit/Jazz is five years old and just now comming to the USA.

Replying to: jdorff (Jan 11, 2006 5:55 am) Then again that Honda Fit had no side or curtain airbags which will be standard on the US Fit. Future comparison ratings will show which gets better ratings. Replies to this message: jdorff (Jan 11, 2006 7:33 am)

Replying to: bamacar (Jan 11, 2006 6:34 am) True that the Honda Fit will have standard side airbags (good to see that someone other than VW is making safety standard on small cars). But the Euro NCAP frontal score for the Yaris (94%) is still much better than the frontal score for the Fit/Jazz (69%). Does anyone know if the US Spec Yaris hatch will have the knee airbag like the Euro Spec Yaris does ??
#5 of 15 The Toyota Yaris is a safety hit in Europe... by iluvmysephia1 Apr 13, 2006 (12:05 am)
An agency in Europe called the European New Car Assessment Program (EuroNCAP)conducted crash tests on the Toyota Yaris that was outfitted with "side head protecting" airbags as options. The Yaris scored 5 out of 5 stars. The protection package there includes a driver's knee airbag and costs buyers $750 extra. This is notable because the two Yarii at my local dealer both have the extra airbags as a $650 option. These are the front seat mounted side and rear side curtain airbags for passenger safety in the back as well. Glad to have them in my...uh-hummm...those two Yarii at my local dealer. Granted we might not take the European crash tests as acceptable for the U.S. but it is welcome news that this newest small Toyota introduced here by all rights should be a very safe small rig. With all of those airbags it really has earned the "rig" designation, yes. Hey, if it saves my bacon in a crash, good for it! Just some more good Yaris news for those that are thinking they might become Toyota Yaris fans in the U.S. Replies to this message: backy (Apr 13, 2006 5:16 am) reddroverr (Apr 14, 2006 12:08 pm) kdhspyder (Apr 13, 2006 6:18 am) reddroverr (Apr 13, 2006 7:36 am) kdhspyder (Apr 13, 2006 8:32 am) backy (Apr 13, 2006 8:46 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Apr 13, 2006 12:05 am) iluv, I am glad that you see the value of safety features like side bags and curtains. It's great the Yaris offers them as options. But since none of the Yarii I saw at my local dealer last Saturday has that option, I'd like to see them be standard, as they are on the Accent, Fit, and Rio/Rio5.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Apr 13, 2006 12:05 am) The Euro test is the same as the IIHS here. Both are more difficult than the NHTSA tests.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Apr 13, 2006 12:05 am) Are these tests relative to other vehicles in the same class? Is that how it works? Standards that are considered good for that size vehicle? Just wondering. Replies to this message: kdhspyder (Apr 13, 2006 8:32 am) backy (Apr 13, 2006 8:46 am) kdhspyder (Apr 13, 2006 9:21 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: reddroverr (Apr 13, 2006 7:36 am) Yes one should always compare vehicles in the same weight class. It's like boxers. One shouldn't compare a Yaris to a Camry for example. Replies to this message: backy (Apr 13, 2006 8:46 am) kdhspyder (Apr 13, 2006 9:21 am) backy (Apr 13, 2006 9:59 am)

Replying to: kdhspyder (Apr 13, 2006 8:32 am) That's ok on side and rear crashes, but not on frontal crashes. Replies to this message: kdhspyder (Apr 13, 2006 9:21 am) backy (Apr 13, 2006 9:59 am)
