Tsuru Nissan / Sentra B13 NO Airbags
Last week we reported the Nissan Tsuru, better known to you and me as the third generation Sentra B13, which will finally stopped next year after 25 years on the market in Mexico The automaker has been under pressure by Global NCAP , who campaigned to get the car that scored zero stars in the NCAP crash test Latin there are three years removed from sale.
Now, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety IIHS United States issued a video crash test organized in collaboration with Global NCAP, which opposed a 2015 model year Tsuru against the latest 2016 Nissan Versa sedan latter is mainly the US version to market our Almera filled with six airbags and stability control.
The Versa is not even the safest car tested by the IIHS; although it offers good protection in most of his essays, he received a poor rating in the new crash test on a small overlap of the Institute, and doesn t come with a brake autonomous emergency Still, the video shows a clear difference in safety between a modern sedan even entertained like this and its spiritual predecessor that was last sold in the US in 1994.
The crash test put the car in a head-to-head collision moderate overlap, both moving at 40 mph 64 km h resulting in a combined closing speed of 80 mph 129 km h While there is undoubtedly a significant impact for these two cars, the driver in the Versa would have been much better ve the car's structure took place, and front airbags and curtain prevented dummy's head hit a hard surface.
However, the Tsuru has been virtually decimated by the Versa, crumpling the passenger, forgive the term rather stereotypical, like an accordion The dashboard and steering column were pushed far back, and without airbags strictly speaking, the model slammed head first on the steering wheel and the pillar his legs would probably have been crushed, too.
Global NCAP says that a driver in Tsuru would have a high probability of suffering fatal injuries He added that it is likely that such an accident in real terms would have been fatal because there was no airbags in the Tsuru and the main structures have all failed, which fatally compromises the survival space.
Our first car to car test clearly shows the importance of regulating minimum crash tests Mexico doesn t apply them and the United States still had them for decades Lack of standards can lead to the sale of dangerous cars like the Nissan Tsuru, Global NCAP secretary general David Ward said.
In April of this year, Latin NCAP released a report showing that the Tsuru was involved in more than 4,000 deaths on the roads of Mexico between 2007 and 2012.
Here ASEAN NCAP carried out a crash test on original Proton Saga with equally devastating results You can watch the video below, and compare it to the video of the crash test last 2016 Proton Saga below.

Proton began on the wrong foot when he was 1 because of many benefits to anyone with s policy, he certainly improved it is the only way forward, it is painful and slow, but will surely reach the destination if she could support is the fault of the proton and it is only the right to own and improve or Dislike 1 Like 0 Reply.
