The Toyota Highlander was redesigned for the 2014 model year. Structure The driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of the lower interior at the parking brake pedal, which was pushed in 23 cm toward the driver. The door sill intruded laterally 13 cm. Upper interior intrusion measured 11-12 cm at the instrument panel. Injury measures Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Restraints and dummy kinematics The dummy's head barely contacted the frontal airbag before sliding off the left side, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward structure. The side curtain airbag deployed and had sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with side structure and outside objects. The side torso airbag also deployed.
