Crash Test 2002 - 06 Toyota Rav-4 (Side Impact) IIHS

Toyota RAV4
2004-05 models
SIDE IMPACT TEST WITH OPTIONAL SIDE AIRBAGS

OVERALL EVALUATION: Good
Injury measures Head protection Structure/safety cage
Head/neck Torso Pelvis/leg
Driver Good Good Good Good Acceptable
Rear passenger Good Good Good Good

Important: Side impact crash test ratings can be compared across vehicle type and weight categories.
Test details:

The Toyota RAV4 was redesigned for the 2001 model year. Beginning with 2004 models, side airbags were added as options and structural changes were made to improve occupant protection in side-impact crashes. (Toyota reported that the structural changes alone would not significantly affect side-impact performance; therefore, the overall side impact rating for 2004-05 models without side airbags is the same as for 2001-03 RAV4s.)
Injury measures:

Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.

Rear passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Head protection:

Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.

Rear passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.

This test looks like if you were to get hit by a truck or another suv. Most sedans dont come up that high and therefore the risk of injury would be far less.

actually, the toyota seinna got an acceptable rating without the airbags. sometimes it depends on a strong side structure

[GMminivans9968]

[GMminivans9968]

Yeah.

[firedemon101]

well it is the same car and the same structure is basically the airbags that gave it its good rating.....

[GMminivans9968]

Bu shouldn't they have weaker standards? Obviously a car is gonna get a Poor without side airbags, at least most of the time...

[firedemon101]

well it is for people who just doesn't want or couldn't afford side airbags
