Of course, as you’ve probably guessed by now, the Mitsubishi Express is a budget car. However, cheap Chinese cars are common in the Australasia region, which includes Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Melanesia, and part of the Malay archipelago. ANCAP also tests them, but they don’t look so bad either.
The Mitsubishi Express does not have the usual electronic systems to help prevent accidents. For example, the Mitsubishi Express does not have an automatic emergency braking system. This truck doesn’t even try to stay in your lane. Also, the adults in the cabin of this van are very poorly protected. There are hard car moldings near the driver’s knees, the seats and seat belts do not support the bodies properly. It would be difficult to even get out of this van after an accident due to a completely landed body.
The Mitsubishi Express has headrests (which are required), seat belts, and airbags, but it still can’t stop the driver’s and passenger’s heads from moving throughout the cabin. This greatly increases the risk of brain and neck injuries. In addition, when the side collides with a pole or other fixed object, the cabin also folds sharply: the pole is practically inside the van. Finally, the shape and materials of the Mitsubishi Express are not very conducive to the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.
What does such a poor rating mean? The Mitsubishi Express will continue to be available in Australia and neighboring countries. However, it is unlikely that you will achieve as good sales as you would have achieved with a 3-4 star rating. Many larger companies that buy dozens or several hundred trucks at a time also have safety requirements for them.
ANCAP emphasizes that Mitsubishi has the safety technology and knowledge necessary to make the Express van safe. Just save. Perhaps such rigorous evaluations will cause Mitsubishi to shift at least some of its available safety technology from cars to trucks.
