Skoda’s new Citigo small car has received 5-Stars in Euro-NCAP crash tests. Euro NCAP assessors commended the Citigo’s overall safety package, including its passenger, infant and pedestrian protection. The car’s additional safety assistance systems also attracted praise.
The Citigo earned plaudits for the levels of passenger protection it offers. Euro NCAP’s assessment involves front and side collisions plus a pole test. The car also rated highly in the whiplash test, which measures strain on the upper cervical spine caused by a rear-end impact.
Infant safety was another area where the ŠKODA achieved excellent results. The car received full marks in tests simulating the protection of a three-year-old child. Euro NCAP testers reported that they found the level of the Citigo’s assistance systems convincing. In particular, they praised the inclusion of head-thorax airbags as standard equipment across the Citigo range, and belt-fastening reminders on all seats.
