Description

Crash tests demonstrate that occupant protection in all kinds of vehicles is improving. However, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety doesn't routinely test vehicles in every size/type category.

Crash Test Results of 2-Door Coupes We are often asked about the crash test within the result of 2 door cars but because of obvious structural differences we can’t simply apply the crash degrading from 4-doors to 2-door versions of the same model. We decided to run this crash test to see if crash within it’s improvements that we’ve observed among four door cars are going into 2-door designs as well. The results are good news. If you’re looking for a 2-door car their crash wins without there. The institute is releasing front side and we have crash tests results for 2-door cars for small and one mid size. The results show that crash test performance is improving even among cars we don’t usually test. All the cars in this group earned or good or acceptable front and side crash testing ratings but that’s performers of fort focus involved with C30. Both of these two doors earned the institutes top safety pick. We didn’t see big differences in the front crash test performances between these cars and there photo counter parts. Like this fort focus it’s really good for front crash within this into both two door and four door versions. A structure held up well and despite mother intuition in the foot well, the driver dummy injury measures were low. We’re surprised that all of these cars earned good or acceptable side crash these of ratings, the large of door opening makes them potentially more vulnerable in the side impact but for beefed up the side structure of this focus to compensate for that. This new test also shows automakers commitment to improving side crash within this. All the two door models we recently tested come equipped with standard side of bags designed to protect people’s heads in suicide crashes. When you give up two doors you don’t have to give up crash within this. This test results show that some two doors cars have crash within is on par with their former counterparts.
