Comments:

Elantra poorly showed itself in tests: the airbag and the belt could not normally protect the driver. In addition, the knees were also in danger, as a result there was a danger of damage to the legs. Although the body turned out to be durable, with a frontal blow, the bottom was deformed, as a result of which the driver's seat was moved forward and to the door. With a thorough inspection, it turned out that because of such a displacement of the chair, the seat belt did not slip from the driver and allowed that hit her head and breasts about the steering wheel. The door opened at the side strike also increased the risk.

Front punch:

The airbag worked, but the head and the driver's chest was still reaching the steering wheel. This testifies to the danger of damage, and in other circumstances of the collision, the consequences may be much more serious. Under the front panel, rigid elements were found, which can lead to trauma legs and knees. The clutch pedal moved far back, threatening the feet and ankles. When you hit the driver's seat shifted forward and to the side, because of which the safety belt slipped, and the likelihood of injury has increased. A positive point was the three-point belt for the central seat of the rear seat - it provides much better protection than the belt.

Security of passenger children:

The front passenger airbag enters the basic bundle and represents a threat to a child placed in this place in the chair "against the direction of movement". However, text and graphic warnings regarding the location of the retaining device did not satisfy the experts. The pictogram on the edge of the front panel was not accompanied by the text, and in the one that on the sunscreen visor, nothing was said about the degree of risk. Finally, the chairs themselves were unreliable.

Side strike:

With lateral impact, the back door opened, so that the passengers are risking from falling out. The rest of Elantra showed itself well, with the exception of a small probability of the injury of the driver's abdominal cavity.

Pedestrian safety:

Elantra did not stand out from the total mass of competitors and provided weak pedestrian protection.
