- Five stars for both AOP and COP
- Weak chest protection (driver) in the frontal offset deformable barrier test
The Vinfast VF 6 seems to undercut many of its rivals in the sub-Rs. 20 lakh segment, at least on paper. Now, there’s one area where it has gained the higher ground – crash assessment. The Vietnamese eSUV secured a full five-star rating in Bharat NCAP (BNCAP) crash tests. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its safety scores.
The VF 6 secured 27.13/32 points (five stars) in AOP (Adult Occupant Protection), and 44.41/49 (five stars) in COP (Child Occupant Protection). This is further broken down into:
AOP
Frontal offset deformable barrier: 11.13/16
Driver: Good head, neck, groin, thigh, and ankle protection; weak chest protection; marginal right leg protection
Co-driver: Good head, neck, groin, and thigh protection; adequate chest and leg protection
Side movable deformable barrier: 16/16
Driver: Good head, chest, torso, and hip protection
Side pole impact: Good head, chest, torso, and hip protection
COP
Dynamic score: 22.41/24
CRS installation score: 12/12
Vehicle assessment score: 10/13
18-month-old child
- Joie Every Stage FX mount: 6.83/8 (front dynamic score); 4/4 (side dynamic score)
Three-year-old child
- Joie Every Stage FX mount: 7.58/8 (front dynamic score); 4/4 (side dynamic score)
Conclusion
The Vinfast VF 6 is an overall safe car. However, chest protection in the front offset deformable barrier test is weak. These safety scores are applicable to all three variants of the VF 6: Earth, Wind, and Wind Infinity.
