Small overlap front: driver-side
Rating applies to 2017-22 models
Tested vehicle: 2017 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Extended Cab 2wd
The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon Extended Cab were redesigned for the 2015 model year after a two-year absence from the market. Beginning with the 2017 model year, the A-pillar, door lower hinge pillar, and door sill were reinforced to improve occupant protection in small overlap frontal crashes. Driver-side small overlap ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by General Motors.

Driver restraints and dummy kinematics
The dummy’s face remained in contact with the frontal airbag, but its head still rolled around the left side because the seat belt allowed excessive forward excursion of the head and torso. The side curtain airbag deployed and has sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with side structure and outside objects. |
