Test details:
The Honda Insight was redesigned for the 2010 model year after a three-year absence from the market. Beginning with 2011 models, Honda made design changes to the side airbags and front and rear door trim. Side ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Honda as part of side crash test verification.
Injury measures:
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Rear passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Head protection:
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
Rear passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
