Comments:

After the first test, the manufacturer decided to improve the protection system during a lateral blow. Part of the tests was carried out again. The car is equipped with a durable safety frame, although a niche for the legs burst with a frontal impact. The load on the chest cells of both front riders turned out to be relatively high. The protection of the knees and the lower part of the legs of passengers was also criticized.

Frontal blow:

Although the front seat belts were equipped with pretendermen, there were no load limiters, which is why the load on the chest cells of the driver and the front passenger turned out to be relatively high. In the front panel, strict elements were found that pose a danger to knees and legs. The niche for the legs was not particularly affected, but cracks of sheet metal were found on the left side. The central place of the back row of seats was equipped with only a two -point belt that provides much worst protection compared to three -point.

Safety of passenger children:

In the test, Romer Prince Universal chairs were used. Although the trajectories of the belt attachment had the correct color designation, the installation instructions were poorly compiled. The manufacturer promised to fix this in the shortest possible time. With a frontal blow, the head of a 3-year-old passenger shifted forward too strongly, and with a lateral one of the chairs, she did not hold the head of the riders within its limits. In the presence of the front airbag, only the icon on the door rack and the windshield sticker report the inadmissibility of the installation of the children's chair “against the direction of movement” to this place.

Side blow:

The tested car was not equipped with side airbags, but provided a good level of protection. However, the driver hit his chest on the central stance.

Pedestrian safety:

The places in which, when hitting the child’s head or an adult, provided an acceptable level of mitigation of the blow, which cannot be said about the bumper and the front edge of the hood.
