Toyota Prius v
2012 models

SIDE IMPACT TEST
OVERALL EVALUATION: Good

Important: Side impact crash test ratings can be compared across vehicle type and weight categories.

Test details:

The Toyota Prius v wagon was introduced in the 2012 model year. It is derived from the Toyota Prius but is longer and taller to provide more rear seat room and cargo-carrying capacity.
Injury measures:

Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.

Rear passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Head protection:

Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.

Rear passenger — The dummy's head pushed past the side curtain airbag and was hit by the window sill of the passenger door. This impact did not produce high head injury measures, but the head protection is inadequate. The side airbag didn't unfurl completely during deployment, which contributed to the head moving outward excessively.

Additional features:

Side airbags: front and rear head curtain airbags and front seat-mounted torso airbags
Driver knee airbag: a separate airbag in the lower instrument panel designed to minimize knee injuries in frontal crashes
Electronic stability control
Antilock brakes
