No type of accident contains a greater risk for the car driver than a frontal impact. Its most dangerous form is also the most frequent; in the so-called offset crash in which the vehicle and the obstacle only partially overlap, the car body and the occupants are subjected to extreme loading. Auto motor and sport tested the safety of eight mid-range models. In conjunction with the TUV Bayern, auto motor and sport subjected eight models to an offset crash. These were: a BMW 520i, an Opel Omega 2.4i, a Nissan Maxima, a Fiat Croma ie, a Volvo 740, a Renault 25, a Mercedes 200 and a Honda Legend. The results of these crash tests are reported in the report.
