Mercedes Black Cabs

If you ever choose to take part in a head-on collision experiment between a Vito and a TX4, choose to drive the TX4. My unequivocal choice would be to drive the Vito. Mercedes-Benz has always been at the forefront of passenger safety*. The Vito, which is sold as a passenger vehicle under the Viana name, gets very good ratings in Euro NCAP crash tests. Meanwhile, the TX4/Fairway has never had a Euro NCAP test. * The current main Euro NCAP test requirements for oblique frontal impact are taken directly from the design criteria for the Mercedes-Benz W124 E Class first introduced in 1983. Every Mercedes-Benz model introduced since 1983 has achieved the equivalent of a five-star Euro NCAP result in that impact test. Mercedes-Benz cars also have to withstand the same oblique *rear* impact, a requirement that Euro NCAP has yet to adopt. This meticulous approach to passenger safety is one of many reasons why my last four cars have all been Mercedes-Benz. |
