    SAFETY AND SECURITY RATING:

    The Euro NCAP crash test programme rates the SX4 at four stars overall - not that great these days when even the tiny Peugeot 1007 MPV rates five, but denoting a decent standard of crash protection. Child protection and pedestrian are rated at a good three stars, though, better results than for many larger rivals.

    ABS anti-lock brakes are standard, in line with the latest Euro regulations, and you also get front and side curtain airbags, front seatbelt pre-tensioners, three rear three-point seatbelts and Isofix child seat mounting points. Good marks for security devices, too: all UK models have deadlocks with free-wheeling key cylinders and childproof locks on the rear doors, plus an immobiliser and visible VIN for easy identification.
