This round of tests focused on late model year vehicles and, in each test, a vehicle was propelled sideways at approximately 20 mph into a fixed pole. N.H.T.S.A. Test #10738 involved a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer, N.H.T.S.A. Test #10766 involved a 2019 Chevrolet Cruze, and N.H.T.S.A. Test #10772 involved a 2019 Nissan Altima S.
