Latest #SAFERCARSFORAFRICA results

Global NCAP’s new #SaferCarsForAfrica crash results reveal a disappointing two-star occupant safety rating for the Kia Pegas and Renault Triber and only one star for the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.

Global NCAP’s crash test protocols assess frontal and side impact protection for all models, as well as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Pedestrian protection and side pole impact protection assessments are required for vehicles scoring the highest star ratings. More information on the protocol requirements can be found on the Global NCAP web site:hVps://www.globalncap.org/resources. The #SaferCarsforAfrica project is run in collaboration with the Automobile Association of South Africa (AA) and receives grant support from Bloomberg Philanthropies and the FIA Foundation.
