Regarding the Citroen e-C3 Which Received Zero Stars from Global NCAP

RiderTua.com – Citroen is already known for its quality car line-up, but at quite affordable prices. This even applies in Indonesia, where they offer affordable prices for their models even though they are imported directly from abroad. However, news emerged about the Citroen e-C3 not getting a star in the crash test conducted by Global NCAP. The model tested was an Indian-assembled model, and this model is also sold in Indonesia.

Citroen e-C3 Gets Poor Crash Test Results

As previously known, the e-C3 was crash tested by Global NCAP (New Car Assessment Program), and the results were quite disappointing. Because this electric car did not get a single star because it recorded poor results in a number of tests. This includes adult passenger protection, although child passengers still get one star, but that’s still not enough.

The model tested by Global NCAP is a model produced in India. Of course, this makes a number of people worried that this model is the same model as the model in Indonesia, considering that the car was imported in CBU form. But Citroen assured consumers that the e-C3 had passed the crash tests conducted by the Indonesian government.

Different Assembly Models

Actually, the models produced for the domestic market are different from the models for export. This has become something that is commonly found in India, because most models sold there have fewer features than export models. Of course, this is done so that the car can meet the regulations in force in the destination country, and this also applies to countries in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia.

Meanwhile, the C3 Aircross was launched some time ago, and this model is sold at an affordable price. Still, because the model is an imported model from India, its features are more complete compared to the models sold there.
