SA: Citroen raises the safety bar
The Citroen C6 has raised the bar on pedestrian safety .. becoming the first car to
achieve a four-star rating in the latest crash test results.
The Australian New Car Assessment Program says the next best is the Fiat Punto with
three stars .. while most other models managed only one or two stars.
Pedestrian safety is measured by the risk of serious injury to someone struck by a
car at 40 kilometres an hour.
The Citroen C6 has an advanced pedestrian protection system that lifts the bonnet slightly
when a pedestrian impact is detected .. reducing the risk of serious head injury.
