Comments:

Xantia scored two stars, mainly due to poor head protection and chest driver with lateral impact and significant deformation of the passenger compartment at the front. This result was also a consequence of the weak breast protection, knees, hips and the pelvic region of the driver in the front collision. With such a blow, only the bottom of the legs turns out to be relative security. The niche for the legs is too much shone inward, and the solid elements under torpedo contributed to an increase in the risk of injury to knee, hips and driver's pelvis. With lateral impact, the driver's head hit the door rack, so the protection of this area, as well as the chest, was recognized as weak. Xantia was equipped with a safety pillow providing good protection in the event of a frontal collision.

Front punch:

With such a strike, the front racks were too shifted. He also suffered a lot of driver. After impact, the door from the driver had to be opened with the help of a special tool, although it did not need it from the passenger. The steering wheel moved back by 145 mm and up to 111 mm, the brake pedal "flew" by 208 mm, very substantially mounted in a niche for the legs. Although the sensors in the heads of mannequins registered good results, the shift of the steering wheel can create a real threat to drivers of different growth, therefore evaluations have been reduced. The airbag well secured the driver's head, but the neck of things is worse. Belt removed chest from contact with steering wheel. The left knee of the driver hit the trim over the knob adjustment lever. If the blow fell a little to the side, the knee would hit the bracket of this lever, and the injury would be serious. Right knee, in turn, broke the fuse block, and behind it is a solid design element. Again, if the blow fell a little to the side, the knee hit the bracket of this lever, and the injury would be serious, and if a little higher - the lock lock lock and the adjustment mechanism. Therefore, despite the good testimony of the sensors built into the mannequin, the estimate had to be reduced. The protection of the feet and the ankles is recognized as weak due to excessive deformation of the leg niches. The overall defense turned out to be good, despite the high load on the chest (due to the seat belt) and the threat of the lower part of the right leg.

Security of passenger children:

Children's chairs are not quite suitable for the main seats, but this discrepancy is not dangerous.

Side strike:

Xantia with lateral impact does not comply with the 1998 legislative standards. The head of the mannequin hit the rack between the front and rear doors, and also existed a threat to obtain damaged damage to the chest, although the abdominal and the pelvic areas are better protected.

Pedestrian safety:

Exactly half (3 of 6) places where the head of the child's shot down, meet the established requirements. One of them is above the support of the hood, the second is over the throttle cable, and the third is on the bending of the hood. For two places, the estimates were above average, however, according to the third, above the corner of the battery, below. The safety of the upper parts of the pedestrian feet is not at the required level. All three tested places of the front edge of the hood - the center of the hood, the center and the inner boundary of the headlight - turned out to be worse than the middle. Only one place of the possible strike of adult pedestrians turned out to be relevant to the requirements - near the nozzles of washer. As a result, four places above average, and one below: above the hosted hood. Protection of feet for adults is not a strong side of the car - none of the three places reached even to medium-sized ratings.
