Comments:

Since June 2003, in X5 began to establish intelligent alarm on non-unspecified driver safety belts and front passenger. As a result, the car received additional points that allowed him to enter the cohort of "five-star cars". After the frontal strike, all the doors opened normally, and the level of deformation was low. Passive safety systems have been transferred to the chest driver with a relatively high load. Children's chairs have fully fulfilled their functions, but pedestrian protection was very bad.

Front punch:

The body has a good blow, having allowed the minimum deformations of the niche for the legs and the doorway. The displacement of the pedal node was also insignificant. The load on the chest driver and, to a lesser extent, the passenger, due to the seat belt turned out to be high. Both front seats risked to get injured knees due to hitting the hard elements of the torpedo. The central seat of the seat of the seats was equipped with a three-point seat belt, providing better protection compared to the waist. It is worth noting that the design is made in such a way that the belt cannot be fastened if the seat back is not at an acceptable tilt angle.

Security of passenger children:

Special ISOFIX chairs installed "in the direction of movement" were used for both children. With the headless impact of the head of both were protected well, but it was not detected with lateral blows. With a frontal impact on the neck of a 18-month-old child, a large load was affected, which is the usual case for such a design of the seats of this age group. Warnings about the inadmissibility of the installation of the children's chair "against the direction of movement" opposite the airbag did not comply with EURO NCAP.

Side strike:

As it likes such a high car, X5 has moved well from the side, and the head airbags proved their effectiveness when hitting a pillar. They were tubular type and turned out to be more sensitive to the position of the driver at the moment of impact than the curtains. This type of pillows does not protect the second-row passengers. The curtains could be ordered at an additional cost.

Pedestrian safety:

High cars usually create problems with pedestrians, especially juvenile, and X5 has not exceeded. The front part is very effortful, and the surface of the hood is a little better. What does not talk about the bad result.
