OVERALL BUMPER EVALUATION:

OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE DAMAGE: $2,329

TEST DETAILS: During the front full-overlap test, the bumper system underrode the barrier, resulting in cover, reinforcement, absorber, grille, and hood damage. During the rear full-overlap test, the bumper underrode the barrier. In addition to cover, absorber, and reinforcement damage, the rear body and trunklid were crushed and both taillamps were cracked. 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, bending the inner support and chipping the paint on the fender. Additionally, the side panel of the radiator support was bent. During the rear corner test, there was no bumper/barrier lateral engagement, resulting in the cover being buckled and the rear body being crushed.
