the smart has large airbags to slow down the passengers... the g-force working on the passengers in the offset frontall crash are not better or worse than in any other vehicle..I have seen many full size SUV/truck with worse passenger results..

Euro NCAP rating for a 2007 smart WITHOUT side airbags.. in many nations the optional side airbags are standart..
