Citroën’s e-C3 fails crash test, given zero stars for safety

The 2024 Citroën e-C3 electric car has failed the Global New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) crash test, raising concerns about its safety. The car was tested in India as part of the Safer Cars For India campaign and received a zero-star rating for adult occupant safety and one star for child occupant safety.

The crash test results showed that the e-C3 did not provide adequate protection to the driver and passengers. The car provided poor protection to the passenger’s chest and weak protection to the driver’s chest. It also failed to offer three-point belts in all positions and does not offer a passenger airbag disconnection switch. The airbags in the rear seat are also not equipped with a seat belt.

The e-C3’s results are a matter of concern as it has received a zero-star rating for adult occupant safety. This indicates that the car is not safe for passengers who are looking for affordable and eco-friendly options. The car’s failure in the safety test is likely to have a negative impact on its sales and marketing in India and other countries.
