| SAFETY AND SECURITY RATING: |

The usual boxes are ticked here, with seven airbags as standard and a passenger kneebag optional, and stability control - Alfa Romeo calls it VDC rather than ESP - as standard. This Vehicle Dynamic Control includes a hill-holder device acting on the brakes to stop rolling back on a hill start. Tyre-pressure monitors are standard. The lack of a mechanical steering lock improves the safety of the driver's knees, and the fact that the lock is electronic improves security. The pedals are designed to collapse under heavy impact, too. There's no EuroNCAP rating yet but it would be surprising if the Brera didn't score at least four stars.
