Skoda Citigo, SEAT Mii Get Same 5-Star Euro-NCAP Rating as VW Up!

Both SEAT and Skoda were able to prove to Euro NCAP that their two new super compact models, the MIi and Citigo, were structurally identical to the Volkswagen Up! and have the same interior fittings and equipment levels as the Up!, so the safety body says they both get the same five-star rating.
They offer perfect protection for the passenger and adequate protection for the driver in the frontal impact. The side barrier test showed good results, but in the side pole impact, dummy readings of rib compression indicated marginal protection of the driver's chest.

The bumper provided mostly good protection to pedestrians' legs. However, the front edge of the bonnet was poor in all areas tested and scored no points. Electronic stability control is standard in most European countries but optional on some variants in some countries, but it did pass the Euro NCAP requirements.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
