Comments:

The Primera generation, the release of which began in October 1996, earned three stars behind the frontal and lateral strikes. During the frontal blow, the car proved itself well, although the compression of the recess for the legs was excessive, and the hard elements in the lower part of the front panel posed a threat to the knees, legs and hips of the driver. The car complies with the requirements of 1998 for safety during a lateral blow. The tested sample was equipped with a pillow for the driver, which provided proper protection. Later, the options - side pillows of safety pillows were added to the list of basic configuration.

Frontal blow:

The front stand shifted back only 58 mm. The passenger salon was not deformed significantly, although the driver's door was clamped, and it was not possible to open it without tools. However, the passenger door opened normally. From the blow, the steering wheel shifted back 80 mm and up 64 mm up. The recess for the legs was compressed, and the brake pedal shifted back 350 mm. Protection of the head and neck of the driver is recognized as good, and the head of the head on the airbag is stable. Passive safety systems were able to prevent the contact of the driver with the steering wheel. The driver’s left knee hit the steering column casing, the lever of its adjustment and the lower part of the front panel. If the blow came a little to the right, there would be a more rigid contact with the steering column adjustment lever or ignition, increasing the risk of injury. If the knee penetrated deeper into the front panel, then the risk of injury would be even higher. The right knee, in turn, hit the casing of the steering column and hit the front panel. If the blow fell a little to the side, it would fall into the mechanism of adjusting the steering column or even its lock located above. The compression of the recess for the legs was significant. As a result, the proper protection of the feet and ankles is not ensured. During the frontal impact, the passenger was well protected - the safety of the head, neck, knees, legs, feet was appreciated by a high rating. The only exception was the chest, exposed to a large load from the seat belt.

Safety of passenger children:

There is a slight incompatibility between chairs for children and seats, but not so large as to create a threat to the safety of passenger children.

Side blow:

The chest, abdominal and pelvic parts of the driver hit the door, was the risk of damage. The protection of the head is good.

Pedestrian safety:

Protection of the head of a minor pedestrian. Four out of six control points comply with regulatory requirements. Another point was close to this. The point above the shock absorber showed the result better than average. The junction of the hood and wing was worse than average. Feet protection. None of the control points comply with regulatory requirements, although one - near the hood castle - was close to this. Protection of the head of an adult. Three points showed the result better than average, three - worse. One of them is located near the left wiper. Feet protection. None of the three control points comply with regulatory requirements, worse than average.
