The Latest Round of Tests from Latin NCAP Brought Unpleasant Surprises. The Toyota Corolla, Once a Reference with Five Stars, Now Has Four, While the New Citroën C3 Aircross Caused Outrage by Scoring Zero in Its Safety Evaluation.

The Toyota Corolla saw its score adjusted. Manufactured at a different plant to meet the Mexican market, the model had its assessment reviewed and dropped from five to four stars. Latin NCAP justified the decision based on changes in testing criteria and the model’s origin. Still, the Corolla remains equipped with seven airbags and a partial ADAS package.

However, Toyota has the option to request a new audit to reassess the model. Considering the Corolla’s history of reliability and safety, the Japanese brand may see this review as an opportunity.

While the Toyota Corolla Loses a Star in Its Evaluation, the New Citroën C3 Aircross Shocks by Scoring Zero in the Safety Test — New Aircross + 2 Airbags

Besides the Toyota, the new Citroën C3 Aircross not only disappointed but also recorded one of the worst performances from Latin NCAP currently. The French brand’s SUV scored zero stars in a test that used a version equipped with only two airbags, the standard offered in the model.

Stellantis’ Position

Stellantis, responsible for the new Citroën C3 Aircross, sent an official statement regarding the test. In the statement, the company emphasized that its models meet current regulations and that safety goes beyond individual protection items:

“The CMP platform variant allows the Aircross to have a robust body with extensive cabin protection.”

Still, the lack of any indication of improvements to the model after its poor performance in Latin NCAP is a concern for consumers.

While the Toyota Corolla strives to maintain its position as a reference in safety, the new Citroën C3 Aircross has become an example of what not to do in an increasingly demanding market. For consumers, the latest results from Latin NCAP serve as a warning about the importance of looking beyond design and price when choosing a car.
