| Euro NCAP crash test |
Model cars Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107 and Citroën C1 are manufactured in the same Czech factory and based on identical technology. Euro NCAP crash-tested models in conjunction with the launch in 2005 and was rated four stars out of five.
Earlier this year, updated sibling trio with revised design and efficient engines. It is this, the 2012 edition, the Aygo, 107 and C1 Euro NCAP crash tested again in order to illustrate how the requirements in terms of crash safety intensified in recent years.
The cars only awarded three stars - but in fact, the grade would have been lower than that. Aygo, 107 and C1 are not offered with side airbags, curtain airbags, traction control, seatbelt reminder for the front passenger seat and Isofix mountings for the outer rear seats as standard equipment in all of Europe.
After taking part of Euro NCAP's test results, however, Toyota, Peugeot and Citroën announced that all cars must be fitted with the above equipment as of July 2013. Euro NCAP has therefore decided to test the cars with this equipment.
- Without this equipment would score would have been much worse, said Euro NCAP Secretary General Michiel van Ratingen a comment.
