2011 Ford Fiesta Sedan/Hatchback NHTSA Side Impact

Driver-****
Passenger-*****!!

Earned ***** Overall

!!Due to the intrusion of the left rear door during the side impact test, the interior door panel struck the torso of the rear passenger dummy, causing a high lower spine acceleration. High lower spine accelerations, in excess of 82 g's, have a higher likelihood of thoracic injury.

To be reported as a Footnote: Although not included in the star rating, the rear passenger's thoracic rib deflection was elevated.
