Euro NCAP tests

Ford Ranger

The portion of the body from hood to front passenger cabin is crumpled out of shape easily. The roof bent quickly with the force and the front wheel intruded extensively into the cabin, which will definitely lead to serious leg injuries or even loss.

Isuzu D-Max

Looks worse than the Ranger. The impact travels all the way into crumpling the entire roof of the cabin. It appears the front wheel does not intrude into the cabin. The body looks like its about to be disattached from its frame.

Mitsubishi Strada

Looks good! Impact does not intrude into the cabin.


Nissan Navarra

Visually, it looks like the impact does not intrude the cabin except for the front wheel, which may cause some leg injury.

But.....

it seems that it got a low Euro NCAP score of (was it a one star?) and Nissan supposedly made some changes to bump it up to three star. Are the Navarra(s) being sold here in the Philippines, rated as Euro NCAP three stars? Or is Nissan Philippines selling (or dumping) the old unrevised one star chassis here?

Toyota Hi-Lux

At this moment, I couldn't find a video of its Euro NCAP test.
