Fiat punto crash test was not very brilliant. Only two stars. It is better not to check it in reality anyone. The Fiat Puntov was tested by the outcome of these tests Fiat Punto received as much as “two stars”. Actually, all the requirements are fulfilled, but, for example, the steering wheel did not go the other way from the mannequin. Big problems with body deformation are visible. Airbag did not fully protect the head, which can become dangerous for drivers who have different growth. With a frontal impact: Due to the divergence of point seams at the door stand, and the separation of the dashboard turned out that the car interior lost rigidity. The door from the driver’s side was bent, and the dashboard shifted inside. The steering wheel has shifted by 212 mm — this is higher than the norm. The driver’s seat leaned down. A niche for the legs also curled inside. According to the devices, the protection of the head seems to be normal, but the assessment was lowered to the minimum due to the unstable position of the head on the airbag and the offset of the steering wheel. The left knee of the driver hit the steering column. To the left of the steering wheel, the unfortunate knee broke the dashboard, and the right knee broke the duffel box. The passenger’s security at the levels of the neck, head, hip part received “good”. The load that creates the safety belt on the chest is normal. With a lateral blow: the security of the head and neck is recognized as good, but at the chest level — weak. The protection of the abdominal cavity within the requirements. They did not take the readings of the sensors to assess the protection of the pelvis, but the evaluation of experts in this group is “weak”.
