Comments:

The car showed himself from the worst side of the front and side blows. In the side - the high risk of injury came to the abdominal cavity, for which Seicento was deprived of the last star. The 1.5-year-old passenger was well protected in all situations, but a 3-year-old - bad. Pedestrian safety is also not at the height.

Front punch:

The airbag for the driver is not included in the base bundle of the car, so the steering wheel can cause serious damage when hitting the driver's chest. The front seat belts are equipped with pretensioners that prevent an excessive movement of the passenger's body in a collision. However, the driver's space decreased due to the deformation of the passenger compartment, which led to the strike of the chest about the steering wheel. Also, the driver's body changed the position under the seat belt, as a result of which the pressure on the abdominal cavity increased, which could lead to injury. The zone near the knees is unsafe, and the feet threatens the brake pedal back. The passenger's head also hit the front panel. For the central passenger of the rear side of the seats, only a simple two-point belt is offered, capable of damage to the area of \u200b\u200bthe back or abdominal.

Security of passenger children:

Both children's chairs were located "face ahead" and worked well enough, stopping the excessive movement of the heads of young passengers in front of the front side. The chair for the 1.5-year-old also ensured the protection of vulnerable parts of the body. There was a high load on the chest with a logos of shock, and his head was not kept within the chair at the side. The main problem zone for the younger has become an excessive load on the neck with a frontal impact, which is included in the basic configuration problem for the chairs of such a design for children of this age. The inscriptions on both armchairs were poor quality, short-lived and confusing.

Side strike:

Forces fixed by the sensors in the abdominal region of the driver were sufficient to apply severe or even fatal injury. This was facilitated by the protruding armrest on the door, the design of which carries out the energy of the collision from the inner covering.

Pedestrian safety:

Pedestrian protection is bad, which is the norm for this class of cars. Most of the points are accrued for the "soft" covers of the hood cover and windshield.
