Comments:

Corsa is a durable little car, providing good protection in all respects. With a frontal blow, the driver's airbag worked as it should, however, it may have exhausted the reserve of protective ability. The car body has a good impact, the safety frame of the passenger compartment is deformed not much. Protection with lateral impacts also at height. The protection of children is ambiguous, and pedestrians are weak.

Front punch:

The front passenger airbag enters the base bundle. The probability of damage to the chest for the passenger was less than for the driver, but both indicators are acceptable for a car of this size. Under the steering column casing there is a composite material shield designed to protect the driver's knees. Although any attempts to protect the person behind the wheel are welcome, these measures do not fully meet EURO NCAP requirements. This design does not eliminate the risk of damage to the upper part of the legs or the application of penetrating wounds in the knee area. The central seat of the seats is equipped only with a belt belt, which provides worse protection compared to three-point.

Security of passenger children:

There was no durable warning about the inadmissibility of the installation of a children's chair "against the direction of movement" to the place of the front passenger. For both passengers, the same chairs "in the direction of movement" were used. When heading heads were well protected, but the eldest risked to get the neck injury. 3-year-old also risks injury at side strike.

Side strike:

The head and chest driver were protected, but the abdominal and pelvic departments were subject to some risk of injury. On the spine mannequin passed the load, artificially bypicing the testimony of sensors in the chest. The side strike of the pillar was performed with a car equipped with side security pillows for the head. They are an option, however, turned out to be very unreliable and barely passed the test.

Pedestrian safety:

The head of an adult at the race hits the windshield, and it provides better protection than the surface of the hood.
