Chevy Cruzes new safety score
(MONEY CONTROL.com) -The Chevrolet Cruze has achieved new standards on the safety front by scoring the highest points in the Euro NCAP test.
The Euro New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) provides realistic and independent assessment of the safety performance of cars. The Cruze achieved 16 points in the frontal impact test and 8 points in the side impact test along with a total score of 79 out of 100 points making it the first car ever to get a clear five star rating. This is indeed a feather in the hat for Chevrolet as their earlier car Aveo made headlines by scoring just one star in the Euro NCAP test in 2006. The Chevrolet engineers have since then worked hard and focused on safety that has in turn helped the Cruze get a five star rating.
The Cruze’s body frame and structure are built as a single unit along with a new body frame integral appended with finely tuned chassis components which impart sturdiness to the car. The car utilizes high strength steel for the B- pillars and almost 64 percent of it is constructed of the same. It also features aluminum bumpers to further enhance safety. The Cruze also has premium class safety features such as ABS, ESC, traction control, EBD and six airbags as standard.
