The best crew protection is clearly visible in the diagram showing the crew protection of crossovers. In the Nissan Qashqai, the dummies are almost completely colored green, which symbolizes a high degree of protection. In the Subaru XV, the hips of passengers are at risk and are shown in orange on the diagram.
The only weak point of the Qashqai was the protection of the passengers' necks, which is colored orange, but eliminating this drawback is much easier; it is enough to work on the profile and design of the head restraints.
Overall, for the protection of the driver and passenger, the Qashqai received 88%, pedestrian protection was rated at 69%, protection of child passengers also at 69%, and the operation of electronic safety systems at 79%.
The main secret of the high safety rating of the new Nissan Qashqai, engineers call the introduction of a large number of electronic systems that until recently were not common in this class of vehicles.
Thus, additional points were awarded for the autonomous emergency braking system and for the autopilot that keeps the car in its lane.
