Citroen C3 Latin NCAP Crash Test Performance 

It's surprising to note that Citroen's C3 hatchback in the Latin NCAP crash testing received a score of 0 out of 5 stars. The test was conducted specifically for the Latin American automotive markets. The C3 model assessed by Latin NCAP was manufactured in Brazil and had standard safety features like dual front airbags and electronic stability control. The test vehicle also had additional safety features such as ESC, seatbelt reminder, and seatbelt load limiter. The C3 was evaluated on four parameters, which are assessed for all models reviewed by Latin NCAP: adult occupant protection, child occupant protection, safety aids, and pedestrian protection.
