Starting with the frontal offset deformable barrier test, the driver’s and co-driver's head and neck received good protection. However, the driver’s chest received marginal protection, and the co-driver’s chest was given adequate protection. The thighs for both driver and co-driver were marginally protected, while driver’s left leg and right leg received marginal and adequate protection, respectively. On the other hand, the co-driver’s left leg got adequate protection and the right leg received good protection. In the side impact test, the head, chest, abdomen and pelvis all were secured with good protection which led to a full 16 out of 16 score. The side pole test was also performed in which the driver’s head, chest, abdomen, and pelvis all received good protection.

For the 18-month old’s front and side protection, the dynamic score was 8 out of 8 and 4 out of 4, respectively. However, the 3-year old child’s dynamic score for the frontal impact was a disappointing 3.9 out of 8, and the same for the sides was 4 out of 4. 

Takeaway

The Basalt lost points in the front offset deformable barrier test, offering marginal protection to the driver’s chest and adequate protection to the co-driver’s chest. In contrast, the Curvv provided good protection to both driver and co-driver’s chest, resulting in a higher score than the Basalt.
