The passenger compartment held its shape well in the offset crash test. The accelerator pedal moved rearwards by 57mm and upwards 32mm. The steering wheel hub moved 32mm rearward, 47mm upward and 3mm sideways. The front ("A") pillar moved 42mm rearwards. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash simple tools were required to open the driver’s door.
The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact was stable. There were no driver knee hazards but the glove box surround was found to be a potential hazard for the passenger's knees. The passenger's head was cushioned by the airbag.

The vehicle was eligible for a pole impact test, since it had head-protecting side airbags. The vehicle earned the maximum two points in this test.
