Comments:

After the first test, the manufacturer decided to improve the protection system for lateral impact. Part of the test was anew. The car is equipped with a solid safety frame, although, with a frontal blow, the niche for the legs burst. The load on the pectoral cells of both front sediments was relatively high. Also criticized the knees and the lower part of the feet of passengers.

Front punch:

Although the front seat belts were equipped with pretensioners, the load limiters were not, due to which the load on the driver's chest cells and the front passenger was relatively high. In the front panel, rigid elements were found, which are dangerous for knees and legs. The niche for the legs was not particularly affected, but the leaf metal cracks were found in the left side. The central seat of the seat of the seats was equipped with only a two-point strap that ensures much worse protection compared to three-point.

Security of passenger children:

In the test, the Romer Prince Universal chairs were used. Although the trajectories of the belt fastening had the right color designation, the installation instruction was poorly composed. The manufacturer promised to fix it as soon as possible. With a frontal blow, the head of a 3-year-old passenger shifted forward too much, and at the side, none of the chairs did not keep the head of the saddle in their limits. With the front of the front airbag of the front only the pictogram on the door rack and the sticker on the windshield report the inadmissibility of the installation on this place of the children's chair "against the direction of movement".

Side strike:

The tested car was not equipped with side airbags, but provided a good level of protection. However, the driver hit the central rack.

Pedestrian safety:

Places in which the head of a child or an adult will fall at the race provided an acceptable level of softening strike, which cannot be said about the bumper and the front edge of the hood.
