The passenger compartment held its shape well in the offset test.
Pedal and steering wheel displacements were well controlled. Driver
and passenger contact with the airbags was stable. All doors
remained closed during the crash. After the crash all doors could be
opened with normal effort.

The side impact test normally used by ANCAP simulates a small car
striking the driver's door of the test vehicle. Experience shows that
large vehicles like the Sportage can be expected to perform well in
this test. ANCAP has adopted a policy of awarding these types of
vehicles a default score of 16 points (out of 16).

Pole Test
Scored out of 2 points
Score:

2.00 points

The vehicle was eligible for a side pole test because it has side
curtain airbags. Driver head protection was good in this test.

* ANCAP safety ratings do not automatically extend to variants that have different body
styles, engine configurations, driven wheels or occupant restraint systems (e.g. fewer
airbags). In these cases, ANCAP considers technical evidence submitted by manufacturers
before deciding on extending a rating to additional variants of a model. For further
information about the application of ANCAP safety ratings to model variants, see the ANCAP
Variant Policy.
^ The Rating Year denotes the year requirements against which a vehicle has been
assessed. The Rating Year is determined by ANCAP and may be based on the year in
which a new vehicle model is first launched into the Australian and/or New Zealand markets;
the year in which the vehicle was tested (if tested by Euro NCAP); or, for vehicles which hold
an existing ANCAP safety rating, the year in which the rating was updated (or earlier
applicable year).
