Citroen C3 CRASH TEST FAIL: ZERO STARS (model produced in Brazil)

A crash test fail ! The Citroen C3, produced in Brazil, was rated zero stars. The C3 offers as standard 2 airbags and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) achieved 30.52% in Adult Occupant, 12,10% in Child Occupant, 49.74% in Pedestrian Protection and Vulnerable Road Users and 34.88% in Safety Assist. The car was tested in frontal impact, side impact, whiplash, pedestrian protection and ESC. This safety equipment is the basic and only safety equipment specification available for this model.
The frontal impact showed weak protection to the driver chest and marginal to the passenger chest probably explained by the lack of pretensioners. The structure and the footwell area were rated as unstable. Pole impact was not performed as the car did not offer standard side head protection, not even as optional. Whiplash protection to the adult neck showed poor performance. Child occupant showed almost full protection, but the dynamic points were affected because of the poor marking of ISOFIX anchorages for Child Restraint Systems (CRS). Airbag warning marking in for the passenger seat does not meet Latin NCAP requirements and airbag disconnection in passenger seat position is not possible. Some CRSs failed in the installation assessment. The car does not prove to meet UN 127 or GTR 9 pedestrian protection regulations. Pedestrian protection subsystems showed marginal to good protection for the head with poor protection and weak protection areas closer to the windscreen edge and A pillar. Pelvis protection was adequate to good and leg protection was marginal. Seat Belt Reminder (SBR) in the front seat does not meet Latin NCAP requirements and it is not available for the passenger side and on the rear seat row.

Stellantis really is doing its best to produce the unsafest cars on the market. Even the Chinese automakers are doing a better job

[@tristanrabier8608]

the European version will be safer and will use a different steel

[@thejecs8]

@@tristanrabier8608 are South American lives less important than European ones? I'm asking as a European. I know that cost reduction is important in these markets, but cutting on safety? How many families will be destroyed, because of these unsafe vehicles?

[@tristanrabier8608]

​@@thejecs8It's a bit like Dacia in Europe. Even in South America, the structure of the C3 is not bad for their crash test standards. But it lacks a lot of airbags. That's not why you have to hate stellantis since lots of other brands do that for poor countries. But otherwise I agree with you

[@tristanrabier8608]

stellantis makes very safe cars in europe and even if they have 4 stars instead of 5 (not enough deformation in frontal crash test against a wall for the most part) they have proven that in the event of a violent impact in real life against another vehicle, they sometimes manage better than a 5-star vehicle thanks to their resistance. The euro n cap tests are quite realistic but do not take into account certain important resistance criteria (rollovers for example)

Safety is not an immutable thing. The state of the art in safety moves forward and the tests reflect that.

The side impact looks better than in the Hyundai Ioniq 5

[@tristanrabier8608]

For Europe, the structure of this car will be redone to meet European crash test safety standards using a different steel.

[@Denis_czk]

I give it 0,5 stars my mother died next to me in that car

[@marcellomarino363]

and the Jeep Wrangler has only become 1 star from the EuroNCAP, because the car has not enough Safety Assists. Of course, it is a rockclimber, a tank and not a luxury car. From the US NHTSA the Wrangler is rated with 3/4 stars. Are the cars in the US unsafer than in Europe? EuroNCAP and LatinNCAP are not indepentend audit companies. Be careful before you make false assumptions. Please inform yourself carefully beforehand. ☝🤔

The European version was rated 4 Stars

[@daniellindstrand8932]

Honestly, every buyer of a new car deserve the safest possible version of the vehicle - regardless of where they live. In the best of worlds, a Brazilian C3 should be as safe as a European produced one.

[@thetrooper2159]

Unfortunately, the european C3 is completely unrelated to ours. Citroen brought to Brazil a vehicle developed for India and called it a C3. The previous C3 generations sold here were fully European and were safer than this

The question is are you the right buyer or are you biased one? The crashtest in LatinNCAP is something voluntarily done by the manufacturers. The tests are not approved by the independent authorities. And LatinNCAP is a non-independent company as it is sponsored by different automotive clubs of latin america and other companies that following the interests of their members and not those of different car buyers. ☝
