Crash Test 2000 - 2004 Dodge Intrepid / Chrysler Concorde LX/LXi (Frontal Impact) IIHS

Dodge Intrepid 2000-04 models results also apply to: 2000-04 Chrysler Concorde LX/LXi FRONTAL OFFSET TEST OVERALL EVALUATION: Acceptable Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right Acceptable Good Good Marginal Marginal Marginal Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight. Test details: The Dodge Intrepid and the Chrysler Concorde LX/LXi were redesigned for the 1998 model year and modified beginning with 2000 models to change airbag deployment characteristics. Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement wasn&well controlled. There was too much upward movement of the steering wheel, which contributed to the dummy&head hitting the steering wheel through the airbag. During rebound, the dummy moved toward the driver door, and its head approached the window sill. 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 indicate that injuries to the lower legs would be possible. Head acceleration from the steering wheel hit was low.
