Comments:

Originally tested by Ibiza without a driver's airbag, but the manufacturer decided to include it in the basic configuration to improve security. Although the presence of the pillow did not increase the number of stars in the ranking, it will not allow life-threatening injuries from hitting the steering wheel. In addition, the defense was at an acceptable level, the reason for concern was left only some of the design features and the inability of the door to resist lateral blow.

Front punch:

Even with the front airbag, the driver's head risks hitting the steering wheel. Safety belts are equipped with a tightening mechanism that restrain the movement of the passenger's body forward with a front collision. Under the surface of the front panel there are traumatic elements threatening the knees and feet of the driver. The head of the passenger took up to the front panel, which in other circumstances of the collision may cause serious injury. The central seat of the seat is equipped with a simple two-point safety belt, which can cause trauma of the back or abdominal department.

Security of passenger children:

A 1,5-year-old child was in a chair, fixed "against the direction of movement" with the help of seat belts, however, with this location, his legs touched the back of the car's chair. The children's chair showed a good result, but the designation of the trajectory of the safety belt fixation can be confused, since there are two possible mounting options. With lateral impact, the younger passenger ended the head of the central rack, which can cause serious injury. A special chair for a 3-year-old passenger used fastenings in the car seat, so quite well manifested themselves with a frontal impact, but the side could not keep the baby's head in their limits.

Side strike:

Most of all suffered and the lower part of the door, therefore, the risk of damage to the pelvis or the abdominal cavity was much higher than the heads or chest. In fact, the sensors in the chest fixed very low loads due to the contact of the mannequin and the design of the chair, which would not have happened with the real human body in real conditions. A low blow point led to an unusual displacement of the body of a sediment, which has exposed its head injury.

Pedestrian safety:

Pedestrian protection turned out to be the best than most cars: a few points of head blows provided good protection, and the front edge of the hood is sufficient mitigation of the blow. This is unusual, as most manufacturers do not pay this part of the car such attention. One point on the bumper also showed a good result.
