Citroen eC3 Electric Sedan Global NCAP Rating:
Citroen India subjected its electric hatchback, the eC3, to the Global NCAP test for safety assessment, yielding rather disappointing results. Despite being fitted with front driver and passenger airbags, belt load limiter, and seat belt reminder, the test model received a dismal 0-star rating in the Global NCAP crash test.
Scoring Details:
In the adult occupant test, the eC3 scored 20.86 out of 34 points, while it scored 10.55 out of 49 points in the child occupant protection test. GNCAP highlighted good head and neck protection for the driver and passenger, though the side pole impact test was omitted due to the unavailability of side head protection as an option. The car’s bodyshell was deemed stable, particularly in this test.
Upcoming Safety Features:
Additionally, this electric hatchback comes equipped with ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, rear manual child door locks, high-speed alert system, and speed-sensitive auto door locks. The company had previously announced plans to enhance the safety features across all its vehicles by introducing six airbags, ISOFIX, and rear seat belt reminders.
