SsangYong Korando - Crash Tests 2019

The passenger compartment of the Korando remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of theknees and femurs for both driver and passenger. SsangYong showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants ofdifferent sizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver dummy was good oradequate. For the rear dummy, readings indicated a drop in the iliac force, indicating that the pelvis had slipped underneath the lapsection of the seatbelt, a phenomenon known as 'submarining'. Although dummy readings did not indicate a high risk of injury, the car waspenalised and protection of the pelvis rated as poor. in the side barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good and the Korandoscored maximum points. In the more severe side pole impact, dummy readings of rib deflection indicated marginal protection of the chest,while that of other critical body areas was good. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection againstwhiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated marginal whiplash protection. Thestandard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system scored maximum points in tests of its functionality at the low speeds at whichmany whiplash injuries occur, with car-to-car collisions avoided in all test scenarios.
