While the MG 4 is awarded the maximum score, the Peugeot 408 and the Citroën C4 X miss the final star.
The particularly attractive prices of the MG 4 were not achieved at the expense of passenger safety. This is at least what emerges from the Euro NCAP crash test, which awarded the Chinese hatchback 5 stars (out of 5).
This seemingly excellent result must however be slightly nuanced, as the scores given in the 4 sub-criteria of assessment are nothing impressive. Thus, the MG 4 just manages to scrape by with 5 stars.
Results MG 4:
| Protection of adults | 83% |
| Protection of children | 80% |
| Protection of vulnerable road users | 75% |
| Safety aids | 78% |
| Summary | ★★★★★ |
Yet another underperformance for Stellantis
Even though they are not impressive in absolute terms, the results of the MG 4 would probably have pleased Peugeot, which sees its 408 miss the final star. Citroën and its C4 X do not fare any better (also 4 stars). Disappointing results but ultimately not surprising, as none of Stellantis’ recently tested models managed to earn the maximum score.
Results Peugeot 408 and Citroën C4 X:
| Peugeot 408 | Citroën C4 X | |
| Protection of adults | 76% | 80% |
| Protection of children | 84% | 83% |
| Protection of vulnerable road users | 78% | 57% |
| Safety aids | 65% | 63% |
| Summary | ★★★★☆ | ★★★★☆ |
In total, 14 new models have recently been tested by Euro NCAP. If you wish to analyze the results of each, you can directly visit the institute’s website (here). Notably, you will see the good performance of Lucid Air (5 stars), a large electric luxury sedan that will compete with the Tesla Model S.
