Chevrolet Colorado crew cab

results also apply to: 2004-09 GMC Canyon crew cab

Test details:

The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon were introduced in the 2004 model year as replacements for the Chevrolet S-10 and GMC Sonoma.

The side impact crash test ratings do not apply to the Isuzu i-series pickup, which was introduced in the 2006 model year, because crew cab models have standard side airbags. The i-series was discontinued after the 2008 model year.

Structure ratings are based on this test and on a later test of a 2010 Colorado model with side airbags.

Injury measures:

Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries plus a fracture of the pelvis would be likely in a crash of this severity. Serious neck injuries would also be possible, and loading to the shoulder was excessive.

Rear passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures would be possible in a crash of this severity. In addition, loading to the shoulder was excessive.

Head protection:

Driver — The dummy's head was hit by the intruding barrier. This impact did not produce high head injury measures, but head hits with intruding objects such as other vehicles, trees, and poles should be prevented.

Rear passenger — The dummy's head was hit by the pillar behind the rear passenger door. This impact did not produce high head injury measures, but the head was not prevented from continuing to move outward and downward toward the window sill of the rear door. This indicates that only slightly different crash circumstances could produce a direct hit to a person's head from objects outside the vehicle.
