[PTA SC] Crashtest nr. 139

quote:

The first X-trails that Euro NCAP tested showed weaknesses that Nissan decided to correct. The results shown here are for upgraded cars. Nissan’s modifications improved the stability of the off-roader’s body, but its head-protecting side airbag still did not work as it should in the pole test. The rear-facing restraint for the 18 month old did not fully protect his chest and neck. Finally, protection given to pedestrians was above average.

Frontal Impact


The body withstood the collision well. There was little distortion of the driver’s footwell or the frame of his door but the distance that the brake and clutch were pushed back could have injured him. The restraint system also generated fairly high chest loads. The driver ran the risk of severe injury to his left leg because it came into contact with hard points behind the fascia. The centre rear belt was of a three point type that gives much better protection than that of a lap-only belt.


Side Impact


The X-Trail performed well, as a tall vehicle with high-set seating should. But the thorax and head protecting airbag did not safeguard the driver in the pole test. Although it deployed correctly, it provided too little cushioning. Loads were also transferred from the driver dummy’s back to the seat in an unrealistic manner, reducing the loads measured on the chest. Finally, testers noted that the rear door on the struck side came partly unlatched but did not open.


Child Restraint


The restraints for the 3-year-old used lower ISOFIX anchorages and a top tether. His was forward-facing and protected him in the front and side impacts. The 18-month-old’s was rear facing but did not keep him from harm in the frontal impact. This is unusual, because rear-facing restraints are usually best for very young children. However their heads were protected within the seat shell for both impacts. If owners wish to fit a rear-facing restraint on the front passenger’s seat, they can ask dealers to disconnect the frontal airbag.

Pedestrian Protection


Protection where an adult’s head might strike was above average, giving the X-trail its two stars.
