Comments
Front impact
Structures in the dashboard represented a potential hazard to the knees and femurs on the driver's side.

Side impact
The car scored full points for its performance in the side impact test.

Child occupant
An inadequate warning was given against placing a rearward-facing child restraint in the front passenger's seat. Moreover, the text label was on the windscreen and may not be on replacement parts.

Pedestrian
The bumper scored full points for the protection it offers to pedestrians. Much of the area where a child's head might hit the bonnet also complied with Euro NCAP's requirements.
