Comments:

Saab 9-3 joined a group of cars that received five stars. It is designed to protect his passengers. The salon remained untouched, and the system of passive safety was removed from damage, although a rather high load was performed on the chest driver. The driver's knee zone was not completely safe, but the actual threat was only a point under the steering column. For protection for lateral blows, the car can also be supplied. Pedestrian protection is bad: the surface of the hood slightly softens the punch of the head of the pedestrian only in the center.

Front punch:

The zone around his knees was particularly well thought out. There is a transverse beam, which should break with a strong blow. However, it was found that the steering column can pass the pulse from the driver's knees. Niche for foot remained untouched, and did not imagine dangers for the feet and ankles. The front seat belts were equipped with pretensioners and load limiters, but even with such a configuration, the load on the chest driver turned out to be higher than the norm. The central seat of the seats is equipped with a three-point seat belt, providing much better protection compared to the waist.

Security of passenger children:

Children's chairs were under the Saab brand and were established "against the direction of movement". For the attachment used seat belts and fastening to the front armchairs salads. The defense turned out to be good, although the load on the chest of a 3-year-old passenger was slightly higher than the norm. Before installing the armchair on the front seat, the brand dealer is required to turn off the front airbag.

Side strike:

For side strikes, including a punch of a pillar, maximum points are exhibited. The security curtain defended all the saddles from the side of the strike. They are triggered with oblique frontal blows, where there is a chance of a passenger displacement due to car drift.

Pedestrian safety:

The results of this test differ sharply from all others. The bumper and the edges of the hood turned out to be particularly attendant, although the center of the hood and ensured some mitigation.
