Protection of adult passengers:

Passenger salon remained integer with a frontal impact. The testimony of the sensors indicate good protection of the knees and the heads of the front sedimons. Citroen was able to demonstrate the same level of protection for passengers of different sizes sitting in various positions. With lateral impact on the barrier, the car scored the maximum number of points, ensuring good protection of all vulnerable parts of the body. In the most difficult test - the side strike of the pillar - the displacement of the ribs testified to the weak protection of this zone. However, the security systems could not protect the passengers from damage to the spine, for which 0 points were given.

Security of passenger children

With a frontal blow, the movement of the head of a 3-year mannequin was not significant, and when the head of the head of both mannequins remained within the seats. A passenger airbag can be disabled, which allows you to install a children's chair "against the direction of movement". However, the driver informing about the status of the pillow is not clear enough.

Protection of pedestrians

The bumper was provided with good protection of the legs of a pedestrian, for which the maximum number of points was accrued. However, the head of his head about the hood at the arrival of both adult and the child will be strong - the rating is "bad."

Protection of pedestrians

For some C3 modifications, electronic ESC stability control is available, but it is unlikely to be installed on a significant amount of cars, which does not allow Euro NCAP experts to include it in its rating. The speed limit device will enter the basic configuration for most of the cars sold and accessible to all versions. The signaling about the non-unspecified driver safety belts and the front passenger is included in the basic configuration for the entire model range.
