Used Car Safety Report
The Holden Barina has been awarded a 1 star Driver Protection rating in the latest Used Car Safety Rating (UCSR) report. UCSR are reported annually by the Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC). Ratings are estimated from data on real crashes reported to police in Australia and New Zealand and provide a very high level of confidence. The UCSR report classifies cars according to where their rating lies in relation to a best performance benchmark. The Driver Protection rating measures the relative safety of cars in preventing serious injury to their own drivers in crashes.

Safety Feature Summary
The safety feature information below is subject to change without notice. For up to date safety feature specifications for all variants, please see the safety feature table to the right or contact the manufacturer.
Dual front airbags are standard equipment. ABS brakes are optional. Side airbags are not available in Australia. The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt.
Pre-tensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point seat belt.

The passenger compartment structure was compromised in the offset crash test. The brake pedal moved rearwards by 332mm and upwards 110mm. It was designed to release in this type of crash to reduce leg injury risk, but failed to do so. The steering wheel column released by design and no displacement modifiers were applied. The front ("A") pillar moved 121mm rearwards. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash tools were required to open the driver’s door.
The airbag cushioned the head of the driver but contact was unstable, with the head rolling off the side of the airbag. Steering column and dash components were a potential source of injury for the driver's knees. The passenger's head was cushioned by the airbag. No passenger knee contacts were evident.

The vehicle was not eligible for a Pole Impact Test since it did not have head-protecting side airbags. This test can earn eligible vehicles an extra two points.
Pedestrian Summary
A separate pedestrian impact test is conducted. This test estimates injuries to pedestrians struck by a vehicle travelling at 40 km/h. The more stars the better (maximum 4 stars).
Pedestrian Rating Explained
The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) provides consumers with independent and transparent information on the level of occupant and pedestrian protection provided by different new car models, in the most common types of crashes, through its star rating program.
