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 very well.
Smeared greasepaint indicates where the dummy's head hit the roof rail and B-pillar during rebound.
Footwell intrusion was less than in most other cars the Institute tested.
