Comments:

Picnic has provided good comprehensive protection when hitting and, although it was one of the smallest tested minivans, the result turned out to be close to the result of the leader - Renault Espace. Experts, however, noted that the protection of the knees and the upper part of the legs of the front sediments during the frontal impact needed an improvement; The risk was also subjected to the feet of the driver. Protection with side strike was good, but the driver risked to get injury to the chest. In defense of children, flaws were detected, including the danger that the front passenger airbag bears, and the type of seat belt. Even more surprisingly, the manufacturer does not give buyers recommendations regarding children's chairs.

Front punch:

The frame of the passenger compartment was well protected by the saddles, although the niche for the driver's feet was strongly deformed. The front airbags worked well, but the experts noted the lack of protective filler in the coil column casing and the presence of rigid elements below the surface of the front panel, threatening the knees and the top of the driver's feet. The front passenger also risked to get injured legs when hitting the bracket. The central seat of the seat of the seats was equipped only with a two-point safety belt, providing worse protection compared to three-point.

Security of passenger children:

Experts noted a well-thought-out warning that informs about the danger of the installation of the children's chair "against the direction of movement" in the front seat with an active security pillow. The warning is made in three languages \u200b\u200band placed on the driver's sunscreen visor. It would be better if it was placed on the passenger's visor, so any person setting the children's chair could read it. Toyota does not give buyers recommendations regarding children's chairs, although for the test the manufacturer provided such recommendations. By and large, with lateral impact, holding seats showed a good result, however, during the frontal, they could not sufficiently hold back the head of the head of the passengers. The seat belts of the extreme seats behind the seat belts are equipped with three-point safety belts with automatically snap-down mechanism that increases the reliability of fixing children's chairs. The instructions for their use were given on the corresponding sticker.

Side strike:

The car defended his passengers, although the driver has undergone a small risk of chest damage. Like other classmates, the height of the car gives an advantage with a side shock with a customary car.

Pedestrian safety:

Protecting the head of an adult and the child was at the level above the average for this class of cars. The bottom of the left side of the legs was especially dangerous, although the bumper provided a slight softening of the strike.
