Comments:

For the first time, Micra was tested by Euro NCAP in 1997, and since then the car has not undergone serious changes in the design of security systems. In the frontal impact, the result was not very good, and most of the points were awarded for the side blow. Also, children's chairs did not work well. The protection of pedestrians is weak, but at the level of cars of this class.

Frontal blow:

The driver’s safety pillow protected his head well. There was no passenger pillow, however, the blows of his head from the front panel also did not occur. The driver's door remained quite whole, however, despite the presence of a longitudinal beam, it did not work very efficiently, since it disconnected from the front rack. The seat belts of the front seats were equipped with pretendermen, pressing the passenger’s body when hit. However, despite this, the driver’s chest nevertheless contacted the steering wheel, which is undesirable, as it could lead to serious injury. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe driver’s left knee there are extremely dangerous elements that can cause serious damage. The passenger was very well protected. The central place of the back row of seats is equipped with a simple waist belt, which can lead to injury to the back or abdominal department.

Safety of passenger children:

Both children's seats were located “in the direction of movement” and quite well controlled the movement of passengers, but the chair of the 1.5-year-old passenger had disadvantages, so they received low estimates. Both seats were able to prevent a sharp jerk forward of the heads of their riders during the frontal impact. With a lateral blow, the head of the 3-year-old could not resist the chairs. In a 1.5-year-old, with a frontal blow, the load on the neck turned out to be too high, and with the side, the head could not resist the chair and underwent a strong displacement to the side. Both chairs are equipped with clear inscriptions, although it is worth noting that the guides of the armchairs for a three -year -old child are not marked with red paint. Safety belts can be used for a more reliable fixation of the seats, but they were not used in the test, since the instructions did not have a clear indication of their use.

Side blow:

Above the side window, the driver’s head hit a lot of the cabin, which could lead to injury. The load on the sensors in the chest was reduced due to the interaction of the mannequin and chair, which cannot be with the human body in real conditions. The abdominal department suffered from the protruding armrest.

Pedestrian safety:

The protection of pedestrians was bad, like many representatives of this class of cars. Most of the vehicle was traumatic, with the exception of one point on the bumper, however, most of the points are exhibited for soft places of the hood and windshield.
