Comments:

The car showed himself well from all sides, however, a high load was transferred to the driver's chest, raising the risk of injury. Experts noted that, despite the fact that a lot of efforts to improving the safety of the driver's knees were taken by the manufacturer, all threats were not eliminated. Protection with lateral impact was normal even without side airbags. According to the manufacturer, during the test, a new ISOFIX fixture system was prepared, so children's chairs will be replaced, although those that were installed on a test car worked normally. Protection of pedestrians is estimated as above average.

Front punch:

Passive safety systems were 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 complete protection of the driver's knees. Danger represent the steering column and its casing. In a car, enough protective linings, however, according to experts, the threat of the driver's knees is coming from the ignition lock and the helm 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 with the help of standard safety belts and worked well, protecting the head of young passengers with front and side shocks. Chest cells and necks of children turned out to be protected only with lateral impact. The front passenger airbag may 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 pelvic area of \u200b\u200bthe driver.

Pedestrian safety:

The hood showed acceptable results in places where the head of an adult hits at the race. 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.
