Based on readings from the child dummies used in the dynamic tests, the Qashqai scored maximum points for its protection of the 1½ year infant. Forward movement of the head of the 3 year dummy, sat in a forward-facing restraint, was not excessive and, in the side impact, both dummies were properly contained by their restraints, minimising the likelihood of head contact with parts of the vehicle interior. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. The dangers of using a rearward-facing restraint in that seat without first disabling the airbag are clearly indicated inside the vehicle. All of the child restraints could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

The bumper scored maximum points for the protection provided to pedestrians' legs. The front edge of the bumper showed good results in test sites near the centre of the car but was predominantly poor in more outboard locations. The protection provided by the bonnet was predominantly good or adequate with some poor results recorded on the stiff windscreen pillars.

This assessment has been updated following submission by Nissan of data for the front passenger seat. This shows that both front seats share a simlar geometry and the whiplash score has been increased.

The passenger compartment of the Qashqai remained stable in the frontal impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Nissan showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. The driver dummy scored maximum points, with good protection of all body regions. Likewise, maximum points were scored in the side barrier test with all parts of the body well protected. Even in the more severe side pole test, all body regions were well protected apart from the chest, protection of which was adequate. The front seats and head restraints provided good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated good protection against whiplash.
