However, the driver dummy’s chest protection was rated ‘Weak’, with the passenger dummy’s chest coming in at ‘Adequate’, leaving room for improvement.

In terms of the test scores, the Front Offset Deformable Barrier Test got a rating of 11.13 out of 16, while the VF6 also easily passed the Side Pole Impact Test. Both dummies also showed ‘Good’ protection in the Side Deformable Barrier Test for a full 16 out of 16 points.
