Comments:

The car proved to be good on all sides, but on the driver's chest, transfers a high load, increasing the risk of injury. The experts noted that, despite the fact that manufacturers have been many efforts to improve the safety of the driver's knees, the threats have not been eliminated. Protection in side impact was normal even without side airbags. According to the manufacturer, during a test time to prepare for the introduction of a new system of ISOFIX anchorages, so child seats will be replaced, but those that have been installed on the test vehicle worked normally. Pedestrian protection rated as above average.

Frontal impact:

Passive safety systems have become effective, but the load on the chest was high. The body has a good punch, the front rack and niches for the legs underwent minimal deformation. As in any small car, the problem turned out to be a shortage of space for the complete protection of the drivers' knees. Danger represent the steering column and its casing. In a car, enough protective linings, however, according to experts, the threat of the drivers' knees is coming from the ignition lock and the root adjustment lever. The central rear passenger seat is equipped with a three-point seat belt providing better protection than just a belt belt.

Security of passenger children:

The manufacturer told Euro NCAP that the replacement of children's chairs on the armchairs using ISOFIX fasteners is to be replaced. The test samples were attached using regular safety belts and worked well, protecting the head of young passengers with front and side shocks. Breasts and necks of children were protected only with lateral impact. The front passenger airbag can be disabled by the company's dealer, but the manufacturer refrains from the active recommendations of this action.

Side strike:

Protection with lateral impact worked quite well even without side airbag. However, the door had a load on the ribs, the abdominal and the pelvic area of \u200b\u200bthe driver.

Pedestrian safety:

The hood showed acceptable results in places where the head of an adult falls at the occasion. The front edge of the hood turned out to be unusually safe. This led to one of the highest marks among all previously tested cars.
