Comments:

Vaneo is a small minivan on the A-class base that manifested itself well during the tests of Euro NCAP. Therefore, it is not surprising that Vaneo scored four stars. The body turned out to be durable and defended passengers. However, with a frontal impact, the upper part of the driver was protected better than the lower. High landing increases protection with lateral impact. Little children are not protected sufficiently at the frontal blow, although the protection of their heads with a side strike turned out to be better.

Front punch:

The passenger salon turned out to be durable and moved well. This is evidenced by the fact that the driver's door after impact opened almost as a new one. The airbags were unlimited and single-stage, but they were well protected by heads and neck of the front sedimons, but neither they (pillows) nor belts were not repurchased chest. In the zone of knees from the passenger, there are no dangerous objects, and the driver's legs threaten to some extent the steering column. The central seat of the seats is equipped with a three-point seat belt, providing better protection compared to the waist.

Security of passenger children:

Romer Duo-recommended by the manufacturer of the Romer DUO is equipped with sensors reporting a car on the installation of children's seats at the front passenger site and the fastening method. Airbag, if necessary, automatically turns off. Both chairs are attached in the rear seat using the first-point ISOFIX fasteners, however, the instructions on the chairs themselves are quite confused. The heads of both passengers were well protected with a frontal impact, but there was a risk of injury in the chest area and other places, especially for the younger, which could also get damage to the neck. In the side impact of the chair showed a good result.

Side strike:

High landing has lost passengers from injuries, and the airbags in the doors have further promoted security.

Pedestrian safety:

The inclined hood helped reduce the risk of damage to the legs, and large windshield provided some protection of pedestrian heads.
