Comments:

The Escort design has long been outdated, so it is distinguished by the presence of significant gaps in protection. At the end stage of the Escort issue, changes have been made to the model, improved rates in collisions, and it is the car and changed the tests. The car showed good results when protecting pedestrians - almost three stars, which is more than many, including more modern competitors.

Front punch:

The passenger salon is significantly deformed, and the shift in the salon of hard elements has become a serious problem. The niche for the legs was bunting in the area of \u200b\u200bthe threshold - the exposed metal elements are extremely traumatic for the feet of the driver. The steering column is not equipped with shock-absorbing lining or deflecting protrusion, which would reduce the likelihood of injury to the driver's feet. The brake pedal moved back, threatening the feet and lower parts of the shins. Finally, impells from the collision, transferred to the chest seat belt, was too high.

Security of passenger children:

Children's chairs provided an acceptable level of security at a frontal impact and removed their passengers from the flight through the entire salon. With lateral strike, the head of the "older" mannequin fell out of the chair.

Side strike:

With the first Escort test, the results have shown that the driver is at high risk of obtaining severe or even mortal injuries with lateral impact. Because of this, the manufacturer has made changes to the design, after which repeated tests were carried out. Protection has improved so much that the modernized car was able to meet new safety requirements for lateral strikes introduced in October 1998. However, even then a serious risk of damage to the driver's chest has been preserved.

Pedestrian safety:

The surface of the hood turned out to be more secure for pedestrians than many competitors, but the remaining parameters leave much to be desired.
