VERDICT

The passenger compartment of the Panda remained stable in the frontal offset test.  Dummy readings of driver chest compression indicated weak protection of this body area.  Test results showed good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger dummies.  FIAT showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions.  In the full-width rigid barrier test, dummy readings indicated weak protection of the head and neck.  Protection of the chest was marginal.  Dummy readings of rear passenger chest compression led to a low score for this body region, and this was further penalised because of high shoulder belt loads, leading to the protection being rated as poor.  Protection of the passenger's neck was also weak.  In the side barrier test, protection of the chest was rated as marginal, based on readings of rib compression, with other critical body regions being well protected.  No pole test was conducted.  Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated marginal protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.  A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated poor whiplash protection.  The Panda is not equipped with an autonomous emergency braking system.
