Citroën Aircross Earns 5-Star Adult, 4-Star Child Rating in Bharat NCAP Tests

The score applies only to the 5-seat Aircross with the tested 1.2‑litre petrol engines.

Overview

  • Bharat NCAP published the Aircross crash-test results, awarding five stars for adult occupant protection and four stars for child protection.
  • The rating is limited to the 5-seat configuration with the 84 hp 1.2‑litre petrol or 110 hp 1.2‑litre turbo‑petrol engines and does not extend to the 7-seat model.
  • Adult score is reported as 27.05 out of 32, including 11.05 out of 16 in the frontal offset and 16 out of 16 in the side barrier test, though one outlet lists a lower total, indicating a minor discrepancy.
  • Child protection totals 40 out of 49 with full marks in dynamic and CRS‑installation checks but only 4 out of 13 in vehicle assessment, which limits the child rating to four stars.
  • Compared with Citroën’s Basalt, the Aircross posted higher adult and child metrics, and the company spotlighted standard equipment such as six airbags, ISOFIX mounts, ESC, TPMS and hill‑hold assist in touting its safety focus.
