FRONTAL OFFSET TEST

OVERALL EVALUATION: Acceptable
Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics
Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right
Acceptable Acceptable Good Good Good Acceptable

Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.
Test details:

The Suzuki Grand Vitara and Suzuki Vitara were introduced in the 1999 model year, and the Chevrolet Tracker was redesigned the same year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. The driver door bowed outward and, during rebound from the airbag, the dummy moved up and toward the driver door, hitting the roof rail in front of the B-pillar.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the head indicate that injuries to the head would be possible. Head acceleration from the roof rail hit was low.

I was in a 55 mph head on crash in one of these, as someone pulled out into my path, and I went away with just a broken leg. Good vehicle.

this is a good car to start with but what i find funny about it is that the chevy model of this car  called the chevy tracker is made with a body from chevrolet, the engine is from suzuki and the transmision is from toyota. weird mix

Yeap you def never want to be a dummy.

I think in this car you would stand more of a chance at living if you left the seat belt off and flew threw the windscreen.

@juanes00 the chevy tracker sucks compared to the quality of other chevys and it passed very well from IIHS. the dummy had barely any injuries. read the discription. its not that bad.

Read the description. The car got an acceptable. ONE AWAY FROM THE HIGHEST RATING. "Injury measures — Measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the head indicate that injuries to the head would be possible. Head acceleration from the roof rail hit was low"
