The passenger compartment lost structural integrity in the offset crash test. The brake pedal moved rearwards by 169mm and upwards 62mm. The steering wheel hub moved 151mm rearward, 15mm downward and 21mm sideways. The front ("A") pillar moved 75mm rearwards. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash the driver’s door could be opened with high manual effort. The exhaust pipe shield contacted a fuel tank bracket but there was no damage to the fuel tank.
The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact was stable. The passenger's head was cushioned by the airbag. The edge of the centre console was a potential source of knee injury for the driver and passenger. Steering column components were also a potential source of knee injury for the driver.

The vehicle was not eligible for a Pole Impact Test. This test can earn eligible vehicles an extra two points.
