DS 3 Crossback - Crash Tests 2019

The passenger compartment of the DS 3 Crossback remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. DS showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection was good or adequate for all critical body areas of both the driver and rear passenger. In both the side barrier impact and the more severe side pole test, protection of all critical body regions was good and the car scored maximum points for this part of the assessment. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) is available as part of the optional 'Active Safety Brake' pack but its results are not included in this assessment.
