2010 - 2012 models

OVERALL BUMPER EVALUATION: Poor

OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE DAMAGE: $2,207


TEST DETAILS: During the front full-overlap test, the bumper system underrode the barrier, resulting in cover, reinforcement, absorber, grille, fender, and hood damage. Additionally, the mounting tabs on both headlamps and the composite radiator support were cracked. During the rear full-overlap test, the bumper underrode the barrier. In addition to cover, reinforcement, and absorber damage, the rear body panel and trunklid were crushed. During the front corner test, there was no bumper/barrier lateral engagement, resulting in the cover being buckled and the headlamp and fender being crushed by the barrier backstop. During the rear corner test, the bumper engaged the barrier; however, the rear body panel was slightly dented at the reinforcement mount in addition to cover and absorber damage.
