Test details:
The Kia Amanti was re-engineered for the 2007 model year, including the installation of a new engine. Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Kia as part of frontal crash test verification.
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 head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible.
Additional features:
- Side airbags: front and rear head curtain airbags and front and rear seat-mounted torso airbags
- Electronic stability control (standard on 2009 models, optional on 2007-08 models)
