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 not maintained well.
During the crash, the dummy's head and torso barely contacted the airbag before sliding off to the left as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag did not deploy.
Door hinge pillar and instrument panel intrusion was extensive and contributed to a significant risk of injuries to the left hip and left knee and a moderate risk to the right lower leg.
