Crash Test 1999 - 2003 Mitsubisi Galant / Legnum / Aspire / VRG IIHS (Frontal Offset)

Mitsubishi Galant 1999-2003 models FRONTAL OFFSET TEST OVERALL EVALUATION: Acceptable Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right Acceptable Good Good Good Acceptable Acceptable Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight. Test details: The Mitsubishi Galant was redesigned for the 1999 model year. Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. During rebound, the dummy’s head moved down and toward the driver door. Then its head moved up, hitting the B-pillar and head restraint. Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was low.
