Latest Euro NCAP results - Citroen C4 Picasso

The Picasso is fitted with a driver's knee airbag as standard but Euro NCAP considers some of the structures in the Picasso's dashboard to be a potential hazard to the driver's femurs as, in this case, Citroen chose not to present evidence to the contrary.

The driver's chest lost a fraction of a point but the rounded score for side impact protection was a maximum 18.

In the frontal impact, the rearward-facing child restraint tipped forward, exposing the head of the 1½ year old dummy which then contacted the rear of the driver's seat. As a result, the car lost all points for the head protection of that dummy.

The passenger's airbag can be disabled by means of a switch, but information on the status of the airbag was not clear enough. The car was rewarded for being equipped with ISOFIX and top-tether anchorages in the front passenger seat and in all three seats on the second row, although the presence of those anchorages was not clearly indicated.

The Picasso is fitted with a seatbelt reminder system for the front and rear seats. The system for the front seats was satisfactory but the information presented regarding the status of the rear seatbelts was inadequate.

The bumper scored maximum points for the protection it offered to pedestrians' lower legs. The part of the bonnet likely to struck by a child's head was also rated predominantly 'fair'. However, that part of the bonnet which might be struck by an adult's head scored no points for the protection it offered.
