Four-star crash protection for ForTwo
Wednesday, October 24, 2007
- Smart car gets four stars from Euro NCAP
- Child protection wasn't rated
- Two stars for pedestrian protection
Smart's new ForTwo has received four stars out of five in Euro NCAP's adult protection crash tests.
As the vehicle has no rear seats, the car didn't receive a child protection score.
However, Euro NCAP noted that an option package is available which includes ISOFIX anchorages for the passenger seat and a switch to disable the passenger's side frontal airbag.
It said that the label warning of the dangers of fitting a rearward-facing child restraint without first disabling the airbag was inadequate.
The car received two out four stars for pedestrian protection.
