Good Good Acceptable Marginal Poor Poor

Test details:

The Infiniti G35 was introduced in the 2003 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. Both the side chest airbag and side curtain head airbag deployed. During rebound, the dummy's head brushed the side curtain airbag and its fabric cover. The dummy continued to rebound into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag, indicating that head injuries would be possible.

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 well.
The frontal airbag and both side airbags inflated for the driver dummy. Smeared greasepaint indicates where the dummy's head hit the side curtain airbag, its fabric cover, and the head restraint during rebound.
Forces on both legs and feet were low, indicating that significant injury was unlikely.
