The tested model of Nissan Pulsar was introduced in Australia and New Zealand in 2013. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all 1.8 litre sedan variants.
Pole Test.
Dual frontal, side chest and side head airbags (curtains) are standard. Antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD) and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Advanced seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats.
The vehicle was eligible for a side pole test because it has side curtain airbags. The vehicle scored the maximum 2 points for head protection in this test.
In the offset crash test driver chest protection was acceptable and upper leg protection was marginal. Passenger chest and leg protection was acceptable. In the side impact crash test driver chest protection was acceptable. Head protection in the side pole test was good.
OCCUPANT PROTECTION
Scored out of 2 points
Whiplash Protection Test. Whiplash protection is assessed to the RCAR Protocol Geometric test: Dynamic test:
Good Acceptable
Injury Outcomes.
Frontal Offset Test. Each body region is scored out of 4 points Head / neck: Chest: Upper legs: Lower legs:
4.00 points 3.42 points 2.00 points 3.51 points
The passenger compartment held its shape reasonably well in the offset test. Pedal and steering wheel displacements were well controlled. Driver and passenger contact with the airbags was stable. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash all doors could be opened with normal effort.
Side Impact Test.
Whiplash
Each body region is scored out of 4 points Head: Chest: Abdomen: Pelvis:
4.00 points 3.74 points 4.00 points 4.00 points
Mostly good protection was provided for the driver in the side impact test. There was a slight risk of serious chest injury.
