The DAF XF achieves a Safe Driving performance that is class leading for a flat floor long haul cab. Its vision performance is class leading with very deep windows, low belt lines, a lower door window and a camera monitoring system (CMS) replacing all mirrors. It is equipped with an AEB system that works adequately for front to rear collisions with vehicles and frontal collisions with pedestrians and cyclists. This impressive peformance in urban crash types sees it earn our CitySafe award. It is awarded a solid 3 star overall. It is therefore, a good choice for the long haul sector where your operation may require frequent entry into cities.

The DAF XF offers class leading vision performance which contributes to an excellent performance in safe driving. The DAF XF achieves the highest vision score of a flat floor cab thanks to deep windows, a low belt line, a lower door window and a well integrated interior and CMS. The class V and VI views are integrated into one display, reducing driver workload in viewing them and offer a large view. Seat belt reminders are fitted to all seats, encouraging belt use. The system also encourages the passenger seat to be stowed when no in use to maximise the view through the lower door window. The attention assist system exceeds minimum legal requirements without excessive false alerts. The use of the ACC reduces the risk of front into rear collisions.

The DAF XF offers an AEB system that avoids front to rear collisions with vehicles and frontal collisions with pedestrians and cyclists. The systems perform adequately but cannot avoid collision in all the circumstances that Euro NCAP request. The XF does not offer an AEB function that is active in situations where the vehicle turns across the path of a cyclist at the nearside or a lane support system that actively intervenes in order to avoid unintended lane departures or lane change conflicts.
