The passenger compartment held its shape well in the frontal offset test. Pedal and steering wheel displacements were well controlled. Driver and passenger contact with the airbags was stable. Steering column and instrument panel components were a possible source of injury to knees and femurs of driver and passenger, and points were deducted.

Pedestrian Summary

Lower leg impacts: 2.28 points
This vehicle scored 14.27 out of 30 points (Marginal). The bumper provided mixed protection to pedestrians’ legs with good protection in some areas and poor or marginal protection in others. Similarly, in
those areas likely to be struck by the head of a child or that of an adult, protection was mostly poor or marginal but was good in some areas. Assessment of the front edge of the bonnet was not appropriate owing to the shape and height of the vehicle. (Tested by Euro NCAP v7 Heavy Vehicles)
Pedestrian Rating Explained
The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) provides consumers with independent and transparent information on the level of occupant and pedestrian protection provided by different new car models, in the most common types of crashes, through its star rating program.
