Comments:

Freelander is a compact SUV, designed for more than ten years ago. The passenger interior with a frontal impact was significantly deformed, and the driver's door lock and the steering wheel went largely back. The load passed on the chest driver turned out to be relative large, and there were problems with his legs. With lateral impact there was a risk of getting a chest injury, which would significantly reduce the side airbag. Children's chairs showed a good result with lateral impact, however, with the heads, they did not have the heads of their saddles. Pedestrian protection on average for cars such a level level.

Front punch:

Belts and airbags protected the heads and neck of the front sediments, but they had a greater load on their chest cells. The front door bent from the side of the coil. Niche for feet behind the driver's chair was deformed. The front sedaws risked to hit the rigid elements of the front panel. The central seat of the seat of the seats is equipped with a three-point seat belt, providing much better protection compared to the waist.

Security of passenger children:

The chair for the older child was established by the "face forward", and for the younger - "against the direction of movement". With the frontal impact of the head of both were not protected enough. For the younger also there was a high probable damage to the neck. The manufacturer stated that the chair used in the dough is suitable for 18-month children, but it turned out to be too small for the size of the middle child of this age. However, even under such conditions, protection during lateral impact remained good. The confused marking on the armchair for 3 years can lead to its improper installation. Opposite the front passenger airbags there are no warnings about the inadmissibility of the installation of the children's chair "against the direction of movement".

Side strike:

With lateral strike, Freelander provided only a small degree of protection, comparing with cars of the same class. The driver risked to get injury to the chest due to the strike of the central rack between the door and the sidewall chairs.

Pedestrian safety:

The front edge of the hood and the bumper practically did not soften the blow of pedestrians, but the surface of the hood provided some protection.
