Chevrolet S-10
1998-2003 models

results also apply to: 1998-2003 GMC Sonoma 1998-2000 Isuzu Hombre
FRONTAL OFFSET TEST

OVERALL EVALUATION: Marginal
Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics
Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right
Marginal Good Good Acceptable Acceptable Poor

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

The Chevrolet S-10 and GMC Sonoma were redesigned for the 1994 model year. The Isuzu Hombre was introduced in 1996 and discontinued after the 2000 model year. For all three models, frontal airbags for both the driver and passenger became standard beginning with the 1998 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement wasn't well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded toward the driver door, which had bowed outward, and its head nearly hit the windowsill. In addition, there was too much movement of the steering wheel.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on both tibias and the right knee indicate that injuries to the knee and lower legs would be possible.

    in actuality, Ford's quality in the light truck category is second only to toyota. GM cars are generally better quality than Ford excepting the cases of the horrendous 08' malibu and Ford's die hard mid 90s-00s taurus
