![](/api/ratings/images/712.jpg?w=480)
Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test.
![](/api/ratings/images/713.jpg?w=480)
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 well.
![](/api/ratings/images/714.jpg?w=480)
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit only the head restraint, as indicated by smeared greasepaint.
![](/api/ratings/images/715.jpg?w=480)
Forces on the legs and feet were low, indicating that significant injury was unlikely.
