Citroen C1 Review

Safety and Security4 out of 5

The structure of the C1 Evie is unchanged from the standard car, which means it has the same crash test results from Euro NCAP: four stars for adult and child protection, and two stars for pedestrian protection. The G-Wiz can only dream of figures like those.

ABS with EBD (electronic brakeforce distribution) and CSC (cornering stability control) is fitted as standard. Two airbags come as standard, as do pre-tensioners on the front seats: two more airbags and Isofix child seat mounting points are also available on VTR models.

There's no alarm, but an immobiliser is standard and remote central locking is available on VTR models.
