Comments:

Santa Fe is a large SUV with a high landing that promotes good protection. However, the reliability of the passenger compartment is questionable, and the results of the frontal blow disappointed, showing problems with the protection of the chest and the driver's feet. However, with lateral blow, the car showed itself very well, even despite the lack of side airbags. With a frontal impact on the neck of the 18-month passenger, a large load was affected, the rest of the children's seats worked well. Santa Fe is unsafe for pedestrians - only the zone where the head of the child falls, provided protection.

Front punch:

Belts and airbags well performed their functions when protecting heads and neck of the front sediments, however, the load on their breasts was high. The doorway and the car body were generally deformed. The manufacturer assured EUROncaR experts, which after that the design will be improved. Under the front panel, hard elements threatening the legs of the front sediments were found. The belt for the central passenger of the rear seat was only a waist providing less protection compared to three-point.

Security of passenger children:

Children's chairs were installed "face forward" using upper fasteners and Isofix. The younger child risked to get the neck injury, which is an ordinary thing at that age and arrangement of the chair "against the direction of movement". " Otherwise, the retaining devices have shown a good result. On the outside of the sunscreen visor there were durable warnings about the danger of the location of the children's chair "against the direction of movement" at the place of the front passenger. There was a pictogram without any text explanation that, in the opinion of experts, can enter delusion drivers.

Side strike:

In this test, the car showed a good result, partly due to its high fit. It is noteworthy that such a high result was achieved without side airbags.

Pedestrian safety:

The result is one star - medium for an SUV. One point of the hood cover well softened the blow, but the rest were traumatic.
