EuroNCAPAs we mentioned a few weeks ago, 2021 has started calmly. That does not imply that it is not one hundred percent committed to the safety of the new models that are arriving on the market. Now come back with a new test round that you will surely like. Especially since it has tested two models of a new brand that is not yet for sale in our country or continent. The third, in discord, if it is known.
We refer to genesis, the signature hyundai premium. As we told you some time ago, this new brand will land in Europe once summer comes into our lives. For this, it will have the invaluable help of two of its best-selling models in the American continent. We refer to the saloon G80 and all way GV80. The third model that has gone through this round of testing is the new generation of the Citroën C4 Surprised?
EuroNCAP awards 5 stars to the Genesis and 4 to the Citroën C4
As you can imagine, the three models that have faced these EuroNCAP tests They have passed them with flying colours. Some better than others, but with more than enough score to live up to what the market demands. and you will wonder How will the Genesis models behave? Well, the G80 and GV80 have deserved the highest grade, with five stars each. In this way they demonstrate their premium character.

In turn, the Citroën C4 has left with a bittersweet taste in the mouth. Yes, because the French model has everything to succeed and, at the last moment, fails. The commercial policy of including the equipment of minimum active security, depending on which versions, has penalized him. In addition to the fact that EuroNCAP has not been able to count on a second unit, with this endowment, to contrast the result. This way you have to make do with 4 stars.
However, if you want to take a look at the results of the tests, here we leave you a summary table that explains them perfectly. Let's hope Citroën improves the score of the new C4 by including more active safety equipment as standard in the near future.
