Midsize convertibles

Intrusion measures into the vehicle occupant compartment and peak injury measures recorded from the crash test dummies for the front moderate overlap tests, front small overlap tests (where applicable) and side tests, respectively, are provided in the tables below.

See our protocols page for detailed information on how to interpret these measures.

Note: All vehicles are listed alphabetically.

Front moderate overlap / Driver side occupant compartment intrusion

	Footwell intrusion				Brake pedal (cm)	Instrument panel rearward movement		Steering column movement		A-pillar rearward movement (cm)
	Footrest (cm)	Left (cm)	Center (cm)	Right (cm)		Left (cm)	Right (cm)	Upward (cm)	Rearward (cm)
