Comments
Front impact
The deflection of the passenger dummy's chest due to seat belt loading was greater than the driver's and was used in the calculation of the adult occupant score. Structures within the knee-impact area represented potential hazards to the knees and femurs of both the driver and the passenger. The protection offered to the driver's lower legs was weak.
Side impact
Compression of the driver's chest in side impact represented an unacceptably high risk of life-threatening injury. As a result, the final star of the adult occupant rating is struck through.
Child-protection
A rearward-facing childseat should not be placed in the front passenger's seat as there is no way to deactivate the airbag in that seating position. The labels warning against doing this did meet Euro NCAP's requirments. The ISOFIX anchorages in the rear outboard seats were not sufficiently well marked to meet Euro NCAP's requirements.
Pedestrian protection
The bumper scored no points for the protection it offers to pedestrians.
