IIHS - 2015 Honda Fit - small overlap crash test / ACCEPTABLE RATING
The NHTSA side impact tests are outdated, as they mark only injury of the torso This leads to the result against-intuitive that a car with low marks torso injury, but FATAL brands of head injury, pass, while a car like the Fit showing a minor chest injury will downrated to 3, although the marks of head injuries are excellent, which means a passenger who departs from the accident clutching his ribs P .
So, I want to see that the number of head injuries from NHTSA for impact are they rear passenger side relate them, they just don t include in the calculation of the overall score - although in the link you published the full results haven t yet been downloaded are which is comparable to the Honda Accord has side curtain airbags that would be very revealing.
BTW, the number of head injuries from NHTSA and IIHS are not comparable because IIHS uses a deliberately small body mannequin crash test for the protection of a small woman and child body - other disabilities that skews the IIHS tests down dummy tests small body, essentially, how the low side curtain airbag drops is dragging a useful airbag below.
In general, the reason why the front seat four door car test well is because the driver and front passenger are framed by the door, which is strong, while rear seat passengers have only the trunk behind, not a solid framework on all around.
The other reason for the front passengers do better on side impact tests on cars like the Fit is because they have side airbags, while rear passengers have only the curtain airbag.
Does anyone have any idea when the IIHS will test FIT t I know they PreRelease this information I also noticed in the past, they haven t tested Echo, Aveo and other small compact are they even going to bother with the new line of Yaris, Versa and Fit Aveo they test all the fist 06s 07s before they even if the 06s are available.
In the Protocol section states they use a barrier of 1500 kg, is that 3300 lbs at about the same speed Therefore, technically their test uses a heavy barrier, but a minimum amount and still a no-confidence inspiring low speed with my child in the back my car, I'll take my side impact 5 stars sUV on a note fuel efficient car that gets 5 stars in the same test thx for the answer, Andrew.

Unlike the front impact test, side impact test IIHS is comparable to all types of vehicles that being said, there aren t too small cars that get good results.
Each headrest of the seat, the rear crash protection is an evaluation of occupant protection against neck injuries in rear impacts at low to moderate speeds Although these injuries usually aren t serious, they occur frequently .
So I think they are watching the movement re adults head out there in low speed impacts on children at 20 mph So carseats should be fine there.
