The Grand Voyager scored enough points overall to be awarded a three-star adult occupant rating. However, its peformance in the frontal impact did not meet the minimum level for that rating and the car was awarded two stars. The driver's chest struck the steering wheel and distorted its rim and the chest compression measured by the dummy indicated an unacceptably high risk of serious or fatal injury. As a result, the final star in the adult occupant rating is struck-through. Several structures in the dashboard presented a potential hazard to the driver's knees; the dummy recorded high femur compressions and the protection offered to this body region was rated as poor. The passenger compartment became unstable during the test. The footwell ruptured during the impact and rearward movement of the accelerator pedal was 288mm which, combined with dummy readings indicating a high risk to the tibia resulted in a 'poor' rating for protection of the lower legs, feet and ankles. In the pole test the curtain airbag didn't deploy as intended, becoming trapped between the dummy's head and the B-pillar. The car scoreed no points and was awarded no stars for the protection it offers to pedestrians.
