I was at our Dealer today to Change from Summer to Winter Wheels on our QQ. In the Showroom was a New Nissan Navara which looked the part so I took a look and a Broschure - Dave
On returning home I started to read the AutoExpress Mag and then bang a two page spread jumped out on a Safety Test for the "Nissan NP300 Hardbody from South Africa"NOT the European Navara.
Of concern with these results is that the most expensive vehicle tested in this round â the Nissan NP300 Hardbody â produced the lowest score of all tests completed to date, achieving a 00.00 score and zero stars. There should be no zero-rated vehicles on our roads. The NP300 âHardbodyâ is ridiculously misnamed as its body shell has collapsed. Nissan also claims the car benefits from a so-called âsafety shieldâ but this is grossly misleading. Our test shows that the occupant compartment completely fails to absorb the energy of the crash resulting in a high risk of fatality or serious injury.
The NP300 âHardbodyâ achieved an alarming zero star rating for its poor adult occupant protection mainly in the driver head and chest areas in the frontal crash test at 64km/h. The vehicle structure collapsed during the crash test and it was rated as unstable. The steering wheel column did not collapse penetrating the passengersâ compartment, creating an additional risk for the driver as it moved straight into the dummy chest. This performance showed a significant risk of injuries for the driver despite the car being equipped with double frontal airbags. The high probability of life-threatening injuries to the driverâs head and chest resulted in the zero star adult occupant protection rating. Even with an airbag the driverâs head and chest showed high biomechanical readings. The NP300 âHardbodyâ achieved two stars for child occupant protection, the low result is mainly explained by the decision of the car manufacturer to install one of the Child seats without following Child seat manufacturer clear instructions.
This NP300 screwed up pretty badly in the NCAP Tests, not ideal infact a disaster for the Nissan Alliance.
