The Škoda CITIGO has been scrutinised by Euro NCAP and the car is structurally identical to the Volkswagen up! and has the same interior fittings. Škoda has informed Euro NCAP that the CITIGO also has the same levels of safety equipment as the up!. Accordingly, Euro NCAP believes that the star rating of the up! Can also be applied to the Škoda CITIGO. Therefore this film includes footage of the Volkswagen up! 2019. Euro NCAP performs a series of crash and safety tests on car models:
- a frontal impact test, the car impacts a rigid barrier
- an offset frontal impact test, 40% of the width of the car is striking a deformable barrier
- a pole test, the tested car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole
- a side impact test, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door.
A series of pedestrian tests are conducted with different impactors, adult and child head form, lower and upper leg form and whiplash tests are performed on a sled.
Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking systems (car to car, with a pedestrian and a cyclist target), lane support and speed assist technologies and seatbelt reminders.
