The safety of a car is measured by its NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) rating, which tests vehicles in different crash tests to determine how safe they are in the event of an accident. In these tests, the driver assists, and airbags work hand in hand to minimize the impact of the crash and to protect the passengers. The question is: Are Skoda cars safer than Tesla cars? Let’s find out,
Not Just Airbags
Both Skoda and Tesla cars have a safety NCAP rating of 5 stars. Skoda puts a lot of effort into making its cars safe. It doesn’t just add six airbags and declare its vehicles safer. Their cars have specially engineered crumple zones and reinforced passenger cells to absorb the impact force in the event of a collision and maintain the car’s integrity, which also helps to keep the passengers safe.
Not only do Skoda cars have a significantly strong structure, but they also offer airbags and different driver assistance further to ensure passengers’ safety in any unfortunate event.
Is the Tesla Safer?
Tesla cars are not only safer but also more intelligent. In the event of an accident, your Tesla automatically notifies local emergency services. If you are still conscious, you can inform your loved ones about your exact location and your current situation through the My Tesla app, which sends real-time location information to your contacts.
Not only that, Tesla cars are equipped with the latest ADAS features that play a significant role in avoiding a crash by braking or steering in another direction autonomously. The Tesla Cybertruck is so safe that it can take bullets, as it is considered an armored vehicle for civilian use.
Skoda Cars are Built to Last a Lifetime
Yes, Skoda cars are built with that mindset, but still, no matter how safe and robust their chassis are, you don’t know what can happen during a crash. So, instead of relying on the car to protect you during a collision, it is an intelligent choice to avoid such situations.
That is where Tesla cars take the crown. An intelligent vehicle like Tesla can detect a sudden lane change from the truck in front of you, and it will automatically change your lane and slow the car down. This is how you lower your chances of rear-ending a trailer truck whose driver has been driving straight for 16 hours and is about to fall asleep for good.
