2008 Citroën Berlingo Scores Four Stars in EuroNCAP Tests

5/28/2008 -- The new 2008 Citroën Berlingo has passed the EuroNCAP tests with flying colours, setting a new standard in the leisure activity vehicle segment. With its reinforced structure and top-level safety equipment, it scored four stars in adult protection, four in child protection and two in pedestrian protection, making it the perfect choice for safe family transport.

These impressive scores are largely a result of the new Citroën Berlingo’s body structure, which has been thoroughly reinforced, particularly at the front and middle pillars. These changes provide the stiffness necessary for passenger protection while optimising impact absorption.

The 2008 Citroën Berlingo is available with a complete system of passenger protection equipment. It can be fitted with up to six airbags: the driver and front passenger airbags are standard while the two side chest airbags and two curtain airbags ship as options.

The new model features height-adjustable front seat belts with pyrotechnic pretensioners and load limiters to ease pressure on impact. The driver gets a seat belt warning alarm while back-seat passengers benefit from three three-point belts.

Lastly, the baby-friendly car is equipped with three Isofix anchor points on the two side seats in the back and the front passenger seat.
