Test details:
The Dodge Avenger was introduced in the 2008 model year as a replacement for the Dodge Stratus, which was discontinued after the 2006 model year. The Chrysler Sebring sedan was redesigned for the 2007 model year. Both cars were restyled beginning with the 2011 model year, and the Sebring was renamed the 200.
Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail and B-pillar.
Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head acceleration from the roof rail/B-pillar hit was low.
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.
- Smeared greasepaint indicates where the dummy's head hit the roof rail, B-pillar, and head restraint during rebound. Head accelerations from these hits were low.
- Intrusion into the driver's space was minimal, and all leg and foot injury measures were low.
