Toyota Yaris
2007-08 models
SIDE IMPACT TEST WITHOUT OPTIONAL SIDE AIRBAGS

OVERALL EVALUATION: Poor
Injury measures Head protection Structure/safety cage
Head/neck Torso Pelvis/leg
Driver Poor Marginal Acceptable Poor Acceptable
Rear passenger Good Good Good Marginal

Important: Side impact crash test ratings can be compared across vehicle type and weight categories.
Test details:

The Toyota Yaris was introduced in the 2007 model year.

Two tests of the Yaris were conducted, one with optional side airbags for the driver and rear passenger, and one without. These vehicles are rated separately, except that the structural ratings for both vehicles are based on both tests.
Injury measures:

Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate serious skull fracture and/or brain injuries would be likely in a crash of this severity. Rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries and a fracture of the pelvis would also be possible.

Rear passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Head protection:

Driver — The dummy’s head was hit by the intruding barrier, producing high head injury measures.

Rear passenger — The dummy’s head was hit by the pillar behind the rear side window and by the window frame and sill. These impacts did not produce high head injury measures, but the head protection is inadequate.
