Forty percent of the total width of the vehicle strikes the barrier on the driver's side. A Hybrid III dummy representing an average-size man is positioned in the driver's seat.

The test vehicle travels at 40 mph toward a barrier with a deformable face made of aluminum honeycomb. Th new test is similar to the existing moderate frontal overlap test, with the exception that there is a dummy in the back seat. IIHS reported that in all nine poor-rated vehicles, injury measurements indicated high risks of head, neck, and chest injuries for the rear passenger, and the seat belt exerted excessive force on the chest of the second-row dummy. The Subaru Forester and Nissan Rogue score marginal, and the Honda CR-V joined the CX-5 in scoring Poor.
