Toyota Prius

2006 - 2009 models

OVERALL BUMPER EVALUATION: Poor

OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE DAMAGE: $2,652


TEST DETAILS: During the front full-overlap test, the Toyota Prius bumper system underrode the barrier, resulting in cover, energy absorber, reinforcement, hood, headlamps and sidemember damage. Additionally, the air conditioning condenser was punctured by the hood latch vertical support and the upper radiator support was bent. During the rear full-overlap test, the bumper system underrode the barrier. In addition to cover damage, both taillamps were cracked and the rear body and tailgate were crushed. During the front corner test, there was no bumper/barrier lateral engagement, resulting in the headlamp being crushed by the barrier backstop; in turn, the headlamp was driven into the fender, buckling the fender and crushing an underlying air intake baffle. During the rear corner test, the bumper engaged the barrier; however, in addition to cover, energy absorber and reinforcement damage, the taillamp was cracked.
