Crash Test: Citroen DS3 2009

Citroen DS3 1.4 2009 EuroNCAP Crash Test
Frontal impact

Pole

CRS

Whiplash



Citroen DS3 2009 test results

Comments

Adult occupant
The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the legs and femurs of both driver and pssenger. Citroen were able to demonstrate that similar protection would be offered to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different seating positions. The car scored maximum points in the side barrier impact. In the more severe side pole test, chest protection was rated as weak, based on dummy readings of rib deflections. Protection against whiplash injuriy in a rear impact was rated as marginal.

Child occupant
Both dummies were sat in forward facing child restraints. In each case, forward movement of the head was not excessive in the frontal impact and, in the side impact, the dummies were both properly contained by the shells of their restraints. The passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward facing restraint to be used in that seating position. However, information provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag is not sufficiently clear. The label warning of the dangers of using a rearward facing child seat without first disabling the airbag is not available in all European languages and was not rewarded by Euro NCAP.

Pedestrian
In most areas likely to be struck by the head of a pedestrian, the bonnet provided poor protection and scored no points. The bumper provided predominantly good protection for pedestrians' legs.

Safety assist
All variants of the DS3 are equipped as standard with electronic stability control, a seatbelt reminder for the driver and front passenger seats and a driver-set speed limitation device

Saab 9-5 2009 test results

Comments

Adult occupant
The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal test, the windscreen pillar moving rearward only 2mm. Dummy readings showed good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Saab were able to show that occupants of different sizes and those sat in different positions would be similarly well protected. In the side barrier test, maximum points were scored with good protection of all body areas. In the more severe side pole impact, protection of the chest and abdomen was adequate. Protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear impact was rated as good.

Child occupant
Based on dummy readings in the dynamic tests, the 9-5 scored maximum points for protection of the 3 year infant. Forward movement of the dummy's head was well controlled and both the 3 year and the 18 month dummies were properly contained by their restraints in the side impact. The passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. However, information provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag is insufficiently clear. The dangers of using a rearward facing restraint without first disabling the airbag are not clearly indicated.

Pedestrian
The bumper scored maximum points for the protection it offered to pedestrians' legs. However, points outside Euro NCAP's normal test zone were found to be injurious. From 2010, Euro NCAP's assessment of the bumper will be broadened to include such points. The front edge of the bonnet provided poor protection as did the bonnet in most areas where an adult's head might strike.

Safety assist
Electronic stability control is standard equipment on all variants as is a seatbelt reminder system for the front and rear seats.
