ANCAP Safety
Tested
2011

The tested model of Citroen DS3 was introduced in Australia and New Zealand during 2010. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all 3-door hatch variants with a petrol engine. The Cabrio (convertible) is unrated.

The 1.4 litre left-hand-drive European model was tested by Euro NCAP. ANCAP was provided with information which showed that the results apply to all petrol 3-door hatch variants.

Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side curtains are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Intelligent seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats. Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash.

A full list of safety features and technologies can be viewed within the Technical Report (see download link).
