Comments:

The safety frame of the passenger compartment was very strong. After making changes to the fastening of the door panel and holding a strike of a pillar, the car received five stars. Passive security systems worked well with frontal impact, protection at side blows also impressed experts. The protection of children and pedestrians also recognized good.

Front punch:

Passive security systems have shown a good result, although the load on the pectoral sediments turned out to be slightly higher than the norm. The driver risked to get injured knees due to hitting the hard elements under the surface of the front panel. The body turned out to be very strong, prteper only minimal deformations in the area of \u200b\u200bthe threshold and the front rack and a slight compression of the leg niches. All seats behind the back of the seats were equipped with three-point safety belts. Also, the car was equipped with an alarm of non-unspeted safety belts for all passengers.

Security of passenger children:

Both children were located in branded children's chairs fixed by backs ahead with seat belts. Also, each of them had an outdoor support that enhancing the reliability of the attachment. With lateral impact, both passengers were protected well, however, with a frontal load on the chest older and the junior neck turned out to be slightly higher than the norm. At the edge of the front panel, the experts discovered an icon and separate text warning in three languages \u200b\u200bunder it, but all stickers could easily break away and get lost. All of them warned about the deadly danger for the child when installing a children's chair "against the direction of movement" on the front passenger seat with an active airbag.

Side strike:

Protection with lateral blows was at a high level. Side pillows and security curtains worked effectively, the latter also protect the second row seds.

Pedestrian safety:

The front edge of the hood scored several points for protecting foot pedestrians, which is quite unusual for a car with such a design. Softe mitigation is also provided, when the child's head is hit and adult pedestrians on the surface of the hood. The bumper turned out to be traumatic for feet pedestrians.
