With the strictest evaluation criteria, the Fiat Palio has won only one star for the protection of adult occupants and three stars for child occupant, the last results of the New Car Assessment Program for Latin America and the Caribbean (Latin NCAP). It is equipped with two front airbags. Did not receive any stars for adult occupant and only one star for children in the frontal impact.
Before the model is tested in side impact, as now, the results were much better for the Fiat car. The low score is due to the fact it does not have side airbags, which caused records in the chest area, although the hatch have shown a side structure capable of providing good protection and low penetration in the area of the occupants.
Who disappoint, however, was the BYD F0, manufactured in China, tested in its most basic security. In July 2015, the compact Fiat had scored four stars in the test as a result of tightening of impact tests from this year, it dropped to only one star.
If a model has achieved zero star in the frontal impact, the body or test the side impact, giving a total score of zero.
in the case of child protection, the low score is due to the absence of belts security three points in all positions, the instructions in the manual scarce in reference to child protection and the installation of child Restraint Systems (SRI). The chest and abdomen are also at greater risk in the event of side impact.
The Latin NCAP updated their definitions Security .
The Latin NCAP said the next results will be presented in September.
