SMALL OVERLAP FRONT TEST
OVERALL EVALUATION: Poor

Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.


Test details:

The Kia Forte was redesigned for the 2014 model year.

Structure — The driver's space was seriously compromised by intruding structure. Upper interior intrusion measured 28 cm at the upper hinge pillar and 21-25 cm at the instrument panel. Lower interior intrusion measured as much as 27 cm at the hinge pillar. The steering column was pushed back 6 cm toward the driver.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — The dummy's head barely contacted the frontal airbag before sliding off the left side as the steering column moved 23 cm to the right, resulting in little airbag cushioning for the chest. Additionally, the seat belt allowed excessive forward excursion of the dummy's head and torso, contributing to the head hitting the A-pillar. The side curtain airbag deployed but does not have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with forward side structure and outside objects. The side torso airbag deployed.

Injury measures — Measures from the dummy indicate that injuries to the left thigh would be likely in a crash of this severity. Head injuries from the A-pillar hit would be possible, as would left knee and left lower leg injuries.

Additional features: Side airbags: front and rear head curtain airbags and front seat-mounted torso airbags Electronic stability control Antilock brakes Daytime running lights (optional)

Tested vehicle specifications: 2014 Kia Forte EX 4-door Class: Small car Weight: 2,865 lbs. Side airbags: front and rear head curtain airbags and front seat-mounted torso airbags Wheelbase: 106 in. Length: 180 in. Width: 70 in. Engine: 2.0 L 4-cylinder EPA ratings: 24 mpg city | 36 mpg highway
