Crash test filmed from Volkswagen ID.Buzz :
The Peugeot 408, the Volkswagen Touran and the 4-star Ford Puma
In this new test series, however, three vehicles do not obtain the maximum rating of 5 stars. We find in particular the old monospace of Volkswagen, the touring released in… 2015! The latter goes back to the crash test and obtains an honorable score of 77% all the same, which is a satisfactory score given its age. the Ford Puma, presented in 2019, is also tested and obtains the mark of 75%. Finally, the latest innovation from the Lion makes its debut: the Peugeot 408, a new kind of cross-sedan. But the latter, weighed down by average passive driving aids, only gets 76%. But, quite surprisingly, it was not crashed as can be seen on the videos available on the site. These are the test results of his little sister, the Peugeot 308which have been taken over!
