TEST DETAILS: During the front full-overlap test, the Nissan Versa bumper system bumper system underrode the barrier, resulting in damage to the cover, energy absorber, reinforcement, hood, both fenders and both headlamps. Additionally, the upper radiator support was bent During the rear full-overlap test, the bumper engaged the barrier; however, in addition to cover, energy absorber and reinforcement damage, the rear body panel was crushed, the sidemember ends were bent and the bumper cover vertically loaded the tailgate, rolling its lower edge. 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 bending the radiator support. During the rear corner test, the bumper engaged the barrier, denting the cover and slightly buckling the rear body panel.
