Comments:

Large mass and plant height should contribute to a good passage of crash test. However, the results of the frontal impact on the EURO NCAP technique showed that the driver risks to damage the chest and legs. But the car perfectly showed himself with lateral impact, which was helped the side airbags mounted in the backs of the seats. However, the differences in the results of the windshield and lateral blows did not allow Euro NCAP experts to raise a high rating. In addition, she suspended the protection of children - a 18-month passenger risks the neck injury at a frontal impact, and his head is not protected with lateral. Also significant injuries are received by pedestrians at the occasion of Pt Cruiser.

Front punch:

Neither the driver nor the front passenger has not been protected sufficiently. PT Cruiser is created taking into account the security requirements of the United States, according to which the driver must remain safe, regardless of whether the seat belt is fastened or not. And when cars are intended for the European market, the security systems are configured exclusively for fastened passengers and the driver. This difference greatly affected the design of the PT Cruiser salon. A special crossing, intended to protect the knees of not fastened saddles, with the test according to the EURO NCAP method, threatens to make serious injuries to the feet and knees of the driver and the front passenger.

Security of passenger children:

Equipment for the transport of children was chosen according to the manufacturer's recommendations and was installed on two ISOFIX fastenings in the rear seat. Both mannequins were placed in the same chairs. A mannequin, imitating a child older than 3 years, turned out to be well protected at frontier, and with lateral blows, in contrast to the 18-month. He risks getting a neck injury when placing a chair face forward.

Side strike:

The height of the PT Cruiser seats and side airbags worked well and defended the driver from damage, which helped the car get a good assessment.

Pedestrian safety:

The front edge of the hood and the bumper PT Cruiser is traumatic for pedestrians. Only separate parts of the hood partially soften the blow.
