maximum points for the protection provided to pedestrians' legs and
to the pelvic region, with good results being recorded on the bumper
and front edge of the bonnet. Head protection was predominantly
good or adequate with only a few poor results recorded on the stiff
windscreen pillars. (Tested by Euro NCAP v8)

Safety Assist Comments
Scored 3.0 out of 3 points
Australasian models have different AEB performance to the
European model tested by Euro NCAP. ANCAP was provided with
evidence that the performance of AEB-interurban was still adequate
to give a total Safety Assist score needed for 5 stars.

The Australasian AEB-city system does not meet low-speed test
requirements and so scored zero for Adult Occupant Protection.
Speed sign recognition is available in Europe but not Australasia.
Approaching a stationary vehicle: 15.94 out of 18 for Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

* ANCAP safety ratings do not automatically extend to variants that have different body
styles, engine configurations, driven wheels or occupant restraint systems (e.g. fewer
airbags). In these cases, ANCAP considers technical evidence submitted by manufacturers
before deciding on extending a rating to additional variants of a model. For further
information about the application of ANCAP safety ratings to model variants, see the ANCAP
Variant Policy.
^ The Rating Year denotes the year requirements against which a vehicle has been
assessed. The Rating Year is determined by ANCAP and may be based on the year in
which a new vehicle model is first launched into the Australian and/or New Zealand markets;
the year in which the vehicle was tested (if tested by Euro NCAP); or, for vehicles which hold
an existing ANCAP safety rating, the year in which the rating was updated (or earlier
applicable year).
