The Buick Rainier and Isuzu Ascender (5-passenger) were introduced in the 2004 model year.Beginning with 2005 models, structural, frontal airbag, and seat belt changes were made to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes.

During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar.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 the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was low.Left to right: * Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test. Larger photo * The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained reasonably well. Larger photo * Smeared pink greasepaint indicates where the dummy's head hit the B-pillar. Head acceleration from this hit was low. Larger photo * Forces on the lower right leg were high enough to indicate the possibility of injuries.
