Test details:

The Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX were introduced in the 2007 model year and restyled for the 2011 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the sunvisor and roof rail.

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. Head acceleration from the sunvisor/roof rail hit was low.
