Driver restraints and dummy kinematics The dummy’s head contacted the frontal airbag but moved too far to the left side, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward structure. Additionally, the seat belt allowed excessive forward excursion of the dummy’s 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. The side torso airbag also deployed.

Action shot taken during the small overlap frontal crash test.

The dummy's position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained reasonably well.

The seat belt allowed too much forward movement of the dummy to the extent that its head approached the intruding A-pillar.

The driver's space was maintained reasonably well, and risk of injuries to the dummy's legs and feet was low.

Action shot taken during the moderate overlap frontal crash test.

The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained very well.

Smeared greasepaint shows where the driver dummy's head was protected from hitting hard structures during rebound by the side curtain airbag.

Intrusion into the driver's space was minimal, and all leg and foot injury measures were low.

About the original moderate overlap front test

Side: original test

Rating applies to 2017-22 models built after March 2017

Tested vehicle: 2017 Honda HR-V LX 4-door 4wd

The Honda HR-V was introduced in the 2016 model year. Beginning with 2017 models built after March 2017, the structure was reinforced at the junction between the B-pillar and door sill to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes. (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.)
