Test details:

The Mitsubishi Outlander was introduced in the 2003 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the head contacted the head restraint and then moved forward and brushed the roof rail.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head acceleration from the roof rail hit was negligible.

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 very well.
The dummy's head moved well forward into the airbag during the crash.
Intrusion into the driver's space was minimal, and all leg and foot injury measures were low.

Additional features:
