Hyundai i10

The passenger compartment remained stable in the offset frontal test.  Protection of the driver's chest was rated as weak, based on dummy measurements of compression.  Dummy readings of the knees and femurs were good but some structures in the dashboard were thought to pose a risk of injury so the score was penalised. The i10's low weight and benign front structure did not pose a high risk to the occupants of a colliding vehicle in a frontal offset impact.  In the full-width, rigid wall test, protection was good or adequate for all body critical body regions except for the driver's abdomen.  The abdomen slid under the lap section of the seatbelt (a phenomenon known as 'submarining') and protection of that body region was rated as poor. In the side barrier test, representing a collision by another vehicle, protection of all critical body areas was good.  Similarly, in the more severe side pole impact, protection was good all-round.  In an assessment of protection in far-side impact, dummy excursion (its movement towards the other side of the vehicle) was rated as poor.  The i10 is not equipped with centre airbags to protect against occupant-to-occupant interaction in side impacts.  Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision.  A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated marginal whiplash protection.  The i10 is equipped with an advanced e-Call system which, in the event of an accident, automatically sends a message to the emergency services, giving the car's location.
