Comments:

The results of Espace showed outstanding, and he joined the Peugeot 807 in the category of cars that have scored five stars. The body turned out to be very strong; He protected the passengers and allowed to score the maximum number of points for protection when hit on the side. Children are also well protected, and their seats comply with all the requirements of Euro NCAP. Only the load on the younger's neck was slightly higher than the norm. Protection of pedestrians at an average level.

Frontal blow:

Lobic airbags are inflated in two stages, which, according to the manufacturer, should increase protection in serious clashes. The pressure in them is regulated according to the complexion of passengers sitting in front of them. A strong body and the lack of displacement of the steering column provided passengers with a sufficient supply of living space. A lot of effort was also applied to protect the knees and legs of the driver. Double seat belts prevented the knees with the front panel. The deepening for the legs was deformed slightly, in addition, it is surrounded by protective pads. The rear seats are removed, so the three -point seat belts are provided in their design.

Safety of passenger children:

Both children were located in the same chairs designed specifically for the ESPACE and installed “in the direction of movement” in the locks of ISOFIX and fixed on top. They coped well with their task, although with a frontal impact on the neck of the junior passenger, a high load acted. The safety pillow of the front passenger can be disconnected, which allows you to install in its place the children's chair “against the direction of movement”. The warnings about the rules for installing the seats are securely fixed in the sunscreen and meet all the requirements of Euro NCAP.

Side blow:

Like most minivans, the high altitude of Espace suggests that the hit point is much lower than the driver. Despite this, the car is equipped with a good protection system for lateral strikes, including side airbags and inflatable curtains for both rows. The curtains are designed in such a way as to provide protection for passengers of the back row of any age, starting from three years. Maximum points are set for this test.

Pedestrian safety:

The degree of protection of this vulnerable group of road users almost never corresponds to the level of protection of passengers and the driver of the car. The front of the Espace was very traumatic. Only a few places on the surface of the hood ensured the mitigation of the blow when hitting a pedestrian.
