Comments:

Polo turned out to be a strong car. Provided adult passengers a comprehensive protection. With the frontal blow, the body was not significantly deformed, and the driver's door could be opened without the use of tools. For a 3-year-old child, a special chair with the ISOFIX system was used, however, it could not keep the baby's head in its limits with the frontal, nor with lateral blows.

Front punch:

The vertical shift of the steering wheel was too big that could be dangerous for drivers, the growth of which is less than that of the mannequin. The front seat belts were equipped with pretensioners that limit the degree of body movement forward with a frontal impact. Load limiters also protected the frontcalls of the front seds. In the front panel, rigid elements were found, representing the danger to the knees and the top of the driver's feet. The brake pedal displacement back also threatened the safety of the driver's feet. The central seat of the seat of the seats was equipped only with a simple two-point security belt, which can cause a back injury or abdominal department.

Security of passenger children:

Front passenger airbag enters the basic configuration. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the risk of hazardous injury to the child in the chair installed at this place "against the direction of movement". Neither the pictogram, the essence of which is not clear, nor a sticker on the windshield, which is easily removed, did not prevent such danger. For a 3-year-old passenger, a special chair was recommended, but his result disappointed, since the head was not safe at any blow. The chair for the 18th month was established "against the direction of movement" and was recorded by a seat belt. His legs left the back of the car's chair, so experts had doubts about the feasibility of using the seats of such a design in small cars. With a frontal impact, the head of the younger passenger was not kept within the chair, and the labeling of the fastening of seat belts can be confused, since there are two mounting options.

Side strike:

Side glass did not break down, which is unusual, and the head of the driver hit him quite strongly, which can cause serious injury. The rest of the body were protected well, however, the readings of the sensors in the chest were underestimated due to the actual load distribution conditions between the mannequin and the chair, which cannot happen to the body of a real person. The general result turned out to be not bad.

Pedestrian safety:

Protection of pedestrians was bad, since the front of the car was very dangerous for the legs and pelvis. All points in this category are obtained at the expense of head shock.
