Test details:

The Nissan Rogue was introduced in the 2008 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. The driver side curtain and side torso airbags deployed during the crash. After the dummy moved forward into the frontal airbag, its head contacted the side curtain airbag.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag, indicating that head injuries would be possible.

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 (dummy's head obscured by deployed side curtain airbag).
Smeared greasepaint indicates where the dummy's head contacted the side curtain airbag and dislodged headliner during rebound.
Intrusion into the driver's space was minimal, and all leg and foot injury measures were low.

Additional features:

Side airbags: front and rear head curtain airbags and front seat-mounted torso airbags
Rollover sensor: designed to deploy the side curtain airbags in the event of an impending rollover
Electronic stability control
Antilock brakes
