Comments:

A3 passenger cabin safety frame is very strong, so after hitting the driver's door opened normally. Passive security systems well protected the front sedimons and prevented the head and chest driver's head and chest about the steering wheel. Protection when hitting the side also impressed. For children's seats, used ISOFIX fixtures. They showed a good result, although the load on the pectoral cell of the 18-month passenger was slightly higher than the norm. Pedestrian protection is provided at a low level.

Front punch:

Passive security systems included single-stage airbags and seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters. They showed a good result, although the load on the pectoral front passenger was slightly higher than the norm. The driver risked to get injuries to the knees due to contact of the rigid elements under the surface of the front panel. The body turned out to be very strong, receiving minimal deformation in the area of \u200b\u200bthe threshold and the front rack. Niche for the legs is not deformed. All seats rear row seats were equipped with three-point safety belts, and the central cannot be used if the seat back is not adjusted properly.

Security of passenger children:

Both children were sitting in the special chairs of Fair Bimbo Fix Type II with the ISOFIX system, and the 18-month was put back forward, and the 3-year-old face forward. The chairs prevented the head of the head of children about the rigid elements of the cabin, but the load on the chest younger was high. Marking on the chairs was durable and understandable. The warning about the inadmissibility of the installation of a children's chair "against the direction of movement" on the front seat did not comply with the requirements of Euro NCAP. Although the front airbag could be turned off manually, the danger still remained.

Side strike:

Pillows and security curtains showed a good result, the latter also protect the back row seds.

Pedestrian safety:

A3 ensured the mitigation of the head of the adult and the child, but the wings turned out to be very effortful. The bumper and the front edge of the hood of the protection were not provided. Bad result.
