Citroen Aircross safety rating out for 5-seater trims — Scores 5-stars at BNCAP

The Aircross becomes the second Citroen car in India to be crash tested by Bharat NCAP, following the test of the Basalt, and it has secured a 5-star safety rating for adult occupant protection and 4 stars for child occupant protection. The assurance from BNCAP might help Citroen sell more of their cars, which they are struggling to do at the present, despite having fundamentally strong products.

Adult occupant protection

The Aircross has scored a total of 27.05 points out of a maximum possible score of 32 points for adult occupant protection.

Disclaimer

Crash test ratings aren’t the sole or the most accurate indicators that reflect how safe would the occupants be in the event of a crash. Other factors that should be considered in order to determine how safe a car is are driver comfort, driver assistance systems, structural integrity of the vehicle and more. Furthermore, the occupants have to adhere to the safety norms such as using seatbelts on all the seats, whether at the front or rear, as well as using child seats for any children travelling in the vehicle, in order to let the safety features protect them in case of a mishap. No matter how safe a car has been proven to be, there are chances of major injuries or even fatalities if all the necessary precautions are not taken by the occupants.
