Test details:

The Volvo C70 was redesigned for the 2006 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.

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 well.
During rebound, the dummy's head hit only the head restraint (and brushed the sunvisor) as indicated by smeared greasepaint.
Intrusion into the driver's space was minimal, and all leg and foot injury measures were low.
