Mostly good protection was provided for the driver in the side impact test. There was a slight risk of serious pelvis injury.
The vehicle was eligible for a side pole test because it has side curtain airbags. The vehicle scored the maximum 2 points for head protection in this test.

Pedestrian Summary
Adult & child head impacts: 16.48 points
Upper leg impacts: 1.62 points
Lower leg impacts: 6.00 points
This vehicle scored 24.10 out of 36 points (Acceptable). Protection of the head was generally adequate, with good areas towards the centre of the bonnet surface and some poor regions around the windscreen pillars. The protection provided by the bumper to pedestrians' legs was good but the front edge of the bonnet provided marginal or poor protection to the pelvic area. (Tested by Euro NCAP v6)
