COMMENTS:

In the frontal impact the driver and passenger head and neck were well protected. The chests showed marginal protection from the restraint systems. There were hazardous structures in the area of the facia that could be impacted by an the driver and front passenger knees. The car does have a SBR on the driver side only and it meets Latin NCAP’s requirements. The vehicle bodyshell was rated as unstable.

COMMENTS:

The child seat for the 3 year old child was unable to prevent excessive forward movement during the impact and offered low protection to neck and chest. The dynamic performance of the 18 months child restraint left the dummy head exposed. Most of the CRS that were assessed for installation pass considering the exempted positions in the manual. The car did not have warning marking for installing a CRS in the front passenger seat and it is not possible to disconnect the passenger airbag.
