Test details:

The Chrysler Sebring convertible was redesigned for the 2008 model year. The car was restyled for the 2011 model year and renamed the Chrysler 200.

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 lower leg injuries would be possible.

Left to right:

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 as indicated by smeared greasepaint.
Forces on the lower right leg were just high enough to indicate the possibility of injuries.

Additional features:

Side airbags: front seat-mounted combination head and torso airbags
Electronic stability control (standard beginning with 2011 models, optional on 2007-10 models)
