Comments:

The car was estimated at two stars for testing on the frontal and side blow. To evaluate three stars, he did not have enough just a little. During the frontal blow, the car body was overloaded and received significant dents. But, even without a side airbag, the car meets the latest safety requirements for a side blow. And finally, the front edge of the hood provides pedestrian protection at a level above average.

Frontal blow:

The passenger salon underwent significant deformations. The driver's door lost its strength, and its opening was damaged in the front stand. The contact of the head with a pillow of safety was stable, and the offset of the steering wheel is moderate. The energy -absorbing unit in the casing of the steering column should prevent knee damage. The penetration of solid elements into a niche for the legs turned out to be excessive, and the welded seam of the niche itself was a little divorced, which, however, did not create an additional threat.

Safety of passenger children:

The manufacturer recommends using children's seats “face forward”, compatible with seat belts. With a lateral blow, the head of the “senior” mannequin could not resist the chairs.

Side blow:

In the upper part of the driver’s ribs, a door was hit, and the middle and lower - doors and central rack. The largest load went to the lower part, however, even the protection of this area was enough to meet the new safety requirements in Europe. The abdominal department of the driver came across a protruding armrest. The pelvic region was impacted by the central rack, but the protection was at the proper level.

Pedestrian safety:

Half of the places where the head of adult pedestrians has to meet the requirements and provide good protection, but half does not. The front edge of the hood provided protection at a level above average, which can not be said about the bumper that turned out to be too traumatic.
