About the small overlap front test

Small overlap front: passenger-side

Rating applies to 2021 models built after February 2021

Tested vehicle: 2021 Nissan Rogue SV 4-door 4wd

The Nissan Rogue was redesigned for the 2021 model year for vehicles built in the US. Beginning with 2021 Rogue models built in Japan after February 2021, changes to the passenger-side frontal airbag and front passenger safety belt were implemented to match US built vehicles, and to improve occupant protection in passenger-side small overlap 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. Information about what country a vehicle was built in is available by decoding the VIN number, present at the base of the windshield on the driver side).

Three passenger-side small overlap tests were conducted by Nissan. Because there were no structural changes, the structure rating is based on this test and two other tests of Rogue models conducted by Nissan. Because there were no changes to the driver restraints, driver data is based on all three tests.

View of the vehicle after the crash showing the airbags and damage to the occupant compartment.

The rear passenger dummy's head approached the front seatback, which increases the risk of head injuries.

Rear passenger dummy injury values indicate a low risk of injury to the chest and a moderate risk of injury to the head or neck. During the crash, the shoulder belt remained in an ideal position on the dummy’s chest.

The rear passenger dummy's lap belt moved from the ideal position on the pelvis onto the abdomen, increasing the risk of abdominal injuries.

Driver head protection The dummy's head moved downward past the side curtain airbag and struck the window sill of the driver door hard, while the head was in proximity to the intruding barrier. Although the barrier did not hit the dummy's head in this test, this near miss indicates that only slightly different crash circumstances could produce a direct hit to a person's head. The head protection is inadequate.
