CRASH TEST Lancia Thema 2012

Adult occupant
The passenger compartment of the Thema remained stable in the frontal impact. Although dummy readings were good, analysis of the data showed that the head of the driver dummy had 'bottomed out' the airbag i.e. the airbag was not sufficiently inflated to prevent a contact, through the flattened airbag, with the steering wheel rim. The car was penalised and head protection was rated as adequate. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both front seat occupants. Lancia were able to show that a similar level of protection would be provided for occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the side barrier impact, the Thema scored maximum points. In the more severed side pole test, dummy readings indicated marginal levels of protection for the chest and abdomen. The protection provided by the seat and head restraint against whiplash injuries was also rated as marginal.
Child occupant
Forward movement of the 3 year dummy, sat in a forward facing restraint, was not excessive. In the side barrier test, both dummies were properly contained within the shells of their restraints, mimimising the risk of dangerous head contacts. The passenger airbag cannot be disabled so a rearward facing restraint cannot be used in that seating position. The dangers of doing so are clearly explained in a permanently attached label.
Pedestrian
The Thema is equipped with an 'active' bonnet. Sensors in the bumper determine when a pedestrian has been struck and actuators lift the bonnet to provide greater clearance to hard structures underneath. Lancia showed that the system worked for a wide range of pedestrian statures and over a range of speeds, so the car was tested with the system deployed. In those areas likely to be struck by the head of a child or an adult, the bonnet provided good protection. The bumper also provided good protection to pedestrians's legs, and scored maximum points. However, the front edge of the bonnet scored nothing, providing poor protection in all areas tested.
Safety assist
The Thema has electronic stability control as standard equipment, and the system met Euro NCAP's test requirements. A seatbelt reminder is standard for the driver and front passenger seats. There is no speed limitation device for the Thema.

@23Roxy100 verpiss dicch Penner!!



[Capitanvolume]

Bring back the old lancia. The delta, the montecarlo, the stratos. We want rally cars, not some rebagded chryslers!

[Luca95yeah]

@marlon2k9 Now please stop acting like children... What ever you say, it remains a Lancia Thema, not a Chrysler 300c. Italian, not American. New 300c is different in some parts.

[23Roxy100]

Lancia und Fiat sind die dämlichsten Aoutomarken die ich je gesehen habe, die von Lancia sind doch solche Pfeiffen den Chrysler 300 c nach zu machen!!!!!!!!!!



[marlon2k9]

@Luca95yeah I'll just let you live in your sea of anger and ignorance. Once again, the car is a rebadged Chrysler 300, using Chrysler engines, coming out of a Chrysler Assembly Plant. How do I know this? I work there.

[marlon2k9]

@Luca95yeah So how do you explain these rolling off the line at a Chrysler Assembly Plant?

The car is a rebadged Chrysler 300. Period.

@FABIOV12BR You may think it is ugly but that is your opinion, but over in America the car is highly valued and very popular among business professionals and tuners.

[FABIOV12BR]

I reali don't like with this scheme of putting USA cars in Europe with european brands.

Btw, this car is just ugly and see how ridiculous is the seats efficience...
