Comments:

Mazda 6 Body is just a bit deforming in the region of the left front counter. However, scores for crushing the driver's legs were removed. In addition, high loads at its chest, improving the risk of injury to this area have affected its chest. In the rest of the way, the protection of the front sediments was sufficient. Children's protection are ambiguous, and pedestrians are average for cars of this class and size.

Front punch:

The passive security system included two-tier pillows, belts with pretensioners and load limiters. It kept the head and the driver's chest from the strike of the steering wheel, however, caused a greater load on his chest. The rigid elements of the front panel under the steering column are a threat to his knees and hips. The central seat of the seats is equipped with a three-point seat belt, providing much better protection compared to the waist.

Security of passenger children:

In the test used by the manufacturer of Britax Romer Duo Plus "face ahead". They provided good defense, although the eldest child risked to get injuries of the head at a side strike. The warning about the inadmissibility of the installation of the children's chair "against the direction of movement" at the place of the front passenger was well thought out and was placed on both sides of the sunscreen visor.

Side strike:

System protection system with side shocks included side airbags in the backrests of seats and curtains. As a result, the car showed itself well with lateral blows about overlapping and pole. However, the maximum assessment was not delivered due to the uncharacteristic for the actual conditions for the distribution of the load between the mannequin and the chair, which led to a decrease in the sensor readings in the chest of the mannequin.

Pedestrian safety:

A small zone where the head of a pedestrian falls at the race, ensured the softening of the strike, however, such places of the possible blow of an adult head, as well as wings proved very hurry. The bumper and the front edge of the hood also soften the blow.
