Citroen C4 Picasso scores five-star safety rating

Euro NCAP gives Citroen's latest people mover the tick of approval
The latest round of crash safety testing by Euro NCAP has granted a five-star rating for the new Citroen C4 Picasso
Tested along with Honda's CR-V, which has already been rated five-star safe by local crash safety authority ANCAP, the Citroen scored 31 points, slightly behind the CR-V's tally of 33. 
How that stacks up in detail is the Citroen offers better child safety protection than the Honda (86 per cent versus 74), but the CR-V's adult crash safety, at 93 per cent, was ahead of the 88 per cent notched up by the C4 Picasso. Both cars scored the same pedestrian safety percentage (68). 
The safety authority marked down the Citroen slightly for dummy rib compression in a side pole impact test. Honda will be introducing the 2.2-litre diesel variant tested to the Australian market late in the year and the Citroen will arrive shortly after that, in the new year.
