5 Stars. The Commodore Ute scored 13.57 out of 16 in the offset crash test. The passenger compartment held its shape well. Protection from serious chest injury was marginal for the driver.
The vehicle scored 15.59 out of 16 in the side impact crash test. There was a slight risk of serious chest injury for the driver. A further 2 points were earned in the optional pole test. This enabled the Commodore Ute to become the first 5-star utility rated by ANCAP.
 Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head/neck 4 pts, chest 2.50 pts, upper legs 2 pts, lower legs 3.07 pts.
The passenger compartment held its shape well in the offset crash test. The accelerator pedal moved rearwards by 25 mm and downwards 3mm. The steering wheel hub moved 58mm forward, 52mm downward and 5 mm sideways. The front ("A") pillar moved 11 mm rearwards. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash the driver’s door could be opened with normal effort.
The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact was stable. There were no knee hazards. The passenger's head was cushioned by the airbag.
Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head 4 pts, chest 2.84 pts, abdomen 4 pts, pelvis 4 pts.
The vehicle was eligible for an optional pole impact test, since it had head-protecting side airbags and it was within reach of a 5-star rating. The manufacturer decided to go ahead with the pole test and the vehicle earned a further two points.
