Test details:
The Hyundai XG300 was introduced in the 2001 model year and renamed the XG350 for the 2002 model year because the engine size was increased. The XG350 was dropped after the 2005 model year, replaced by the Hyundai Azera.
Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar.
Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, chest, and left leg indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia and right foot indicate that injuries to the lower leg and foot would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was low.
Left to right:
- Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test.
- The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained reasonably well.
- The dummy's left knee and shin broke the plastic knee bolster and bent the metal structure underneath. Still, left leg injury risk was low.
- Forces on the lower right leg and foot were high enough to indicate the possibility of injuries. The steering wheel was found pressed against the right thigh.
Additional features:
- Side airbags: front seat-mounted combination head and torso airbags
