Toyota Aygo X

The passenger compartment of the Aygo X remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy numbers demonstrated good protection for the knees and femurs, apart from the driver’s left femur.  As a result a penalty was applied to the score of this body region because of structure in the dashboard which could present a risk of injury to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions.  Analysis of the deceleration of the impact trolley during the test, and analysis of the deformable barrier after the test, revealed that the Aygo X would be a benign impact partner in a frontal collision. In the full width rigid-barrier impact, protection of all critical body areas was good for the driver, apart from the chest, protection of which was rated as marginal.  In both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and maximum points were scored. Control of excursion (the extent to which a body is thrown to the other side of the vehicle when it is hit from the far side) was found to be weak. The Aygo X does not have a counter-measure to mitigate against occupant to occupant injuries in such impacts. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.  A geometric analysis of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection.   The Aygo X has an advanced eCall system which alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash and the car also has a system which applies the brakes after an impact to avoid secondary collisions.
