The Brazil-manufactured <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/citroen/basalt/">Citroen Basalt</a> has received a zero-star safety rating in the latest Latin NCAP crash tests. This completely contrasts with its India-spec version, which earned 4 stars under Bharat NCAP. In recent Latin NCAP safety tests, the Brazilian-spec Basalt scored less across&nbsp;multiple safety categories despite offering four airbags and ESC as standard. It achieved just 39.37% for Adult Occupant Protection, 58.35% for Child Occupant Safety, 53.38% in Pedestrian Protection, and 34.88% in Safety Assist.&nbsp;According to Latin NCAP’s crash tests, the model lacks key safety&nbsp;features such as side head airbags and ADAS, which aren’t even offered as add-ons.

The car was put through a range of tests, including frontal and side crashes, whiplash protection, pedestrian safety, and how well the electronic stability control (ESC) works.&nbsp;The SUV Coupe did not undergo the&nbsp;side pole impact test because it lacks side head protection, which led to a zero score in that area.

The frontal crash revealed some serious structural issues, and the passenger’s seatbelt pretensioner failed to work properly, offering weak chest protection. When it comes to child safety, the testing agency disclosed that&nbsp;the dummy representing a three-year-old struck its head against the car’s interior,&nbsp;causing the head protection rating to drop to zero. Moreover,&nbsp;the airbag deactivation switch was also absent.&nbsp;On top of that, the seatbelt reminder only alerts the driver and does not meet Latin NCAP’s safety standards.

 The Citroen Basalt was crash-tested by the Bharat New Car Assessment Program (BNCAP) in October last year, and it earned a 4-star safety rating for both adult and child occupants. The India-spec Basalt's safety features include six airbags, electronic stability control, ISOFIX mounts, hill hold control, and 3-point seat belts for all seats as standard.&nbsp;It incorporates high-strength materials like Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) and Ultra High Strength&nbsp;Steel (UHSS) to effectively absorb impacts from the front and sides, minimising cabin intrusion and enhancing passenger safety. In Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), the SUV Coupe scored 26.19 points out of 32.&nbsp;For Child Occupant Protection (COP), it scored 35.90 points out of 49.

Citroen Aircross has earned a 5-star safety rating from Bharat NCAP, making it one of the safest mid-size SUVs on sale in India. The SUV was tested in several crash scenarios to see how well it could protect both adults and children. Bharat NCAP’s creash test process included detailed checks for crash impact, strength of the car’s body, and safety for all people in the vehicle.

The tests included head-on (frontal) and side crash trials that are similar to real accidents. The Aircross kept its inside space solid during these tests and protected everyone inside, scoring 27.05 out of 32.

Bharat NCAP also looked at how well the Aircross kept children safe. The SUV did well when experts checked how child seats are fitted and how safe they keep young kids. The car scored 40 out of 49 in the child occupant protection. All versions of the Aircross have ISOFIX mounts, making it easy for parents to fix child seats quickly. For Indian families, this means more peace of mind and easier safety for young passengers. The Aircross’s strong safety record also comes from its features like airbags, ABS, and stability control, all of which come as standard.

Citroen Racing has confirmed its participation to the Formula E World Championship for Season 12. The French manufacturer will take to the grid for the 2025/26 campaign, stepping into the slot previously occupied by Maserati MSG Racing. This move ends months of speculation about Citroen's motorsport future and marks a transition from traditional rally stages to the urban circuits of Formula E. The team has secured two proven performers in Nick Cassidy and Jean-Eric Vergne for its debut season. Cassidy arrives from Jaguar TCS Racing where he finished runner-up in the drivers' standings last season, whilst Vergne brings two Formula E championship titles from his time with DS Penske. This pairing provides Citroen with genuine championship credentials as the brand embarks on its electric racing journey.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/f1-verstappen-shatters-monza-record-with-dominant-italian-gp-win-over-norris-and-piastri-121696/">F1: Verstappen Shatters Monza Record with Dominant Italian GP Win Over Norris and Piastri</a>Citroen's motorsport pedigree runs deep across various disciplines. The brand dominated the World Rally Championship with nine drivers' titles and eight manufacturers' crowns, with Sebastien Loeb claiming eight of those drivers' titles. Success extended to touring cars too, where Jose Maria Lopez secured three consecutive World Touring Car Championship titles between 2014 and 2016. The brand switch reflects Stellantis's evolving strategy within its motorsport portfolio. While Maserati scales back its electric vehicle focus, Citroen's expanding electrified range aligns perfectly with Formula E's mission. Models like the e-C4 X and e-C5 Aircross showcase the brand's electric credentials, with the Indian market also receiving the eC3 model. This racing programme will directly support Citroen's electric vehicle development.Citroen will operate through the existing Monaco Sports Group structure for its maiden campaign, sharing technical components with DS Penske. The team makes its first public appearance during pre-season testing at Valencia's Ricardo Tormo Circuit in October. While immediate success remains the goal, Citroen recognises the learning curve ahead as it establishes itself in the championship.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/indian-karting-stars-join-akcel-gp-academy-for-uae-rotax-iame-championships-121712/">Indian Karting Stars Join Akcel GP Academy for UAE Rotax &amp; IAME Championships</a>Looking forward, Stellantis is evaluating relocating the operation to its Satory facility in France ahead of the Gen4 regulations.
