Front impactThe passenger compartment remained stable during the impact. Stiff structures in the dashboard presented a risk of injury to the driver's knees and femurs but protection of the passenger was rated as good for all body regions.Side impactThe Ka was tested without the optional thorax and head protecting side impact...
The Ka gains most of its score from side impact and was particularly poor in protecting the driver's legs from serious injury. Although we have awarded three stars the Ka only just gets into this rating. The wrong child restraints were tested. Ford tells us that these should have been their branded Römer Prince child...
Front impactThe passenger compartment remained stable in the impact. However, there was insufficient pressure in the driver's airbag to prevent the head from bottoming it out and contacting the steering wheel. The knees and femurs of the front seat passengers were well protected. Ford showed that a similar level of protection...

In the side-impact test, the loading on the dummy's chest meant poor protection for this body region....
Front impactThe Ranger did not achieve the minimum number of points in this test to get a three star rating, even though it scored enough points overall. The impact overloaded the structure and the passenger compartment became unstable. The car was penalised for that and for the following: collapse of the A-pillar and...
