Comments:

Side airbag due to protect the head and the upper part of the driver's body. However, with lateral strikes, she took only to the shoulder. Although it is also a defense, it is impossible to rely on the pillow with some types of accidents. For this reason, EURO NCAP awarded only one score from two possible in this nomination.

Front punch:

The passenger salon was durable and defended the saddles from the body's elements. Airbags are included in the basic bundle for the driver and the front passenger. The driver's pillow allows the head to slip right, and also "breaks out" when hitting. In some cases, this can lead to injury. The driver's chest also hit the steering wheel, increasing the risk of damage to this zone. Under the surface of the torpedo, strict elements are hidden, which can threaten the driver's legs. The central rear passenger uses a three-point strap that provides greater safety than waist. However, it is possible to stick not to the place of the diagonal part of the belt. The front belts are equipped with pretensioners with load limiters, which should reduce the risk of injury.

Security of passenger children:

The manufacturer recommends using the "forward-looking" universal children's chairs Römer Peggy, which were used in testing. The head of the 3-year-old passenger was not safe with a frontal, nor with lateral blows. The younger child was better protected, but the sensors recorded a high burden on the neck, which is typical of young children in faces arguing. The front passenger airbag enters the basic configuration, which can cause serious, or even deadly damage when installing on the front of the children's chair "against the direction of movement". However, there is no written warning in the cabin. Also, existing signs can be discarded and lost.

Side strike:

Without revealing enough, with lateral impact of the post, the side cushion does not protect the breast driver as it should be. Also, the rear door opened when hitting.

Pedestrian safety:

The car provides weak pedestrian protection, especially this concerns bumpers. The hood showed itself a little better, but not in place, where the head of a child falls at the race.
