Safety of pedestrians

- Excellent - Good - Satisfactorily

Comments:

The body turned out to be extremely durable and well protected passengers. However, the load on the chest cells of the front riders turned out to be high, even despite the presence of two -stage restrictions on the load load. For the front riders, an alarm was also offered to the unsteady seat belts. The protection of the children was good, and their seats met almost all the requirements of Euro NCAP. However, pedestrians were in danger.

Frontal blow:

The front airbag is revealed in two stages, increasing protection in serious clashes. The impact of the passenger pillow is regulated by the mass sensor installed in the pillow of the chair. These systems, as well as a strong body and the lack of displacement of the steering column, provided the driver with a safe space. The designers of the car were applied a lot of efforts to ensure the protection of the knees and hips of the front riders. Unfortunately, the contacts of the left knee of the driver with the front panel and both knees of the passenger with a glove box are still a danger of injury. The niche for the legs was deformed slightly. Finally, the central place of the rear seat is equipped with a three -point seat belt that provides much better protection compared to waist.

Safety of passenger children:

The inscription in German and English warned about the danger of obtaining severe or even a fatal injury by a child located in the children's chair “Against the direction of movement” opposite the active airbag. However, the corresponding sticker was poorly fixed. Both chairs were fixed “facing forward” using seat belts. The two -point ISOFIX mounts were offered as additional equipment, so there were no them on the test copy. The chairs worked well, only the load recorded on the chest of the older child did not allow the highest rating. A special system turns off the airbaging pillow of the front passenger when installing a child seat in its place.

Side blow:

The safety system included side pillows and safety curtains for passengers of both rows. Impressive! However, during the first side hit on the column, the finish of the central rack prevented the normal opening of the safety curtain. The fasteners were modernized and, when repeated, worked as it should.

Pedestrian safety:

The front of the car is very stiff, only some control points of the hood surface softened the blow. What does a bad result say.
