Comments:

Niche for feet and passenger salon Serena was strongly deformed. The front wheel crumpled a niche for the driver's feet, and the steering wheel and the front panel shifted up, reducing the space near the driver to threateningly small sizes. The fastening of the front passenger's armchairs did not stand the blow, and it shifted forward. And the fact that the security belt buckle is attached to the chair itself, and not the floor of the car, makes this offset even more dangerous. The manufacturer declared its intention to investigate the causes of what happened and eliminate them.

Front punch:

The passenger interior around the driver was deformed. The central rack broke away from the threshold. The driver's airbag was protected by his head and chest from serious injury. However, a significant shift of the pedal was noticed, which represents the danger to the feet and ankles. The zone near the driver's knees needs to be improved. Experts were concerned about hitting the front passenger's front passenger shift. The central seat of the seats is equipped only with a belt belt, providing much worse protection compared to three-point.

Security of passenger children:

The seat belts of the extreme seats of the rear row when fastening fixed children's chairs. Instructions for their use are formulated fuzzy, but the manufacturer promised to bring them into line with the requirements of EURO NCAP. None of the children's chairs are compatible with regular safety belts and when colliding their attachments can bring. A 3-year-old passenger's head jerk was very strong with a frontal impact, and with lateral impact protection was also not provided at the proper level.

Side strike:

As with most cars of this class, the driver sits above the point of impact of a regular passenger car, which reduces the risk of serious damage. As a result, Serena provides its driver excellent protection, gaining the maximum number of points in this test. Such an assessment is sharply different from the overall impact assessment and significantly increases the overall rating.

Pedestrian safety:

Although the final assessment for pedestrian protection was not good, the bumper turned out to be safer than most of the previously tested cars. As a result, Serena has become one of the best cars according to this indicator.
