Frontal Offset Crash Test

Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head/neck 4 pts, chest 2.92 pts, upper legs 4 pts, lower legs 3.69 pts.
The passenger compartment held its shape extremely well in the offset crash test. The accelerator pedal moved rearwards by 29 mm and downwards 2mm. By design, the brake pedal moved forwards to reduce injury risk. The steering wheel hub moved 53mm forward, 47mm downward and 10 mm sideways. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash all doors could be opened with normal effort.
The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact was stable. There were no knee hazards. The passenger's head was cushioned by the airbag.
