Comments:

With the first Almera test in 1998, the frontal blow shown poor safety belt performance. Before subsequent tests, it remained too little time to investigate the reasons for what happened, so the publication of the results was postponed for a year. During this time, the cause of the problem was clarified, and the manufacturer recalled defective cars. This crash test provides results for an improved system. Almera earned two stars, but the latter marked with a red sign due to the unacceptably high risk of injury to the driver's chest during a frontal impact. The passenger salon was significantly deformed by subjected to a chest driver of the danger of serious injury. Protection of children with windshield and lateral blows was also criticized. Pedestrians can get damage due to hitting the bumper and the front edge of the hood.

Front punch:

Although the airbag worked, the chest driver hit the lower section of the steering wheel with force sufficient to apply severe injury. Its feet and legs were also in danger due to design elements under the surface of the front panel. The pedal node shifted back to a distance sufficient for injury.

Security of passenger children:

The car is equipped with seat belts, which, when fastening, fix the children's chair. However, one of the manufacturer recommended by the manufacturer was not compatible with the belt buckle, and the instruction manual is uncomfortable - part can only be seen on the right side of the car. Both chairs well protected their passengers with a frontal impact, although the junior neck has undergone a small risk. With lateral impact, a 3-year-old passenger risked to get injured head.

Side strike:

On the test sample, side airbags were not installed, but the protection of the thoracic department was good, although all three "edges" mannequin hit the door. Seat rollers scattered collision energy, which helped the driver.

Pedestrian safety:

The overall defense turned out to be good. Part of the surface of the hood, where the head of an adult will fall, showed the best result than the front edge. There are no structural elements in the bumper scattering the impact energy.
