“The previous generation cee’d was the first
Kia to achieve a 5-star EuroNCAP rating.
In the last five years, testing criteria has become tougher, making it
harder for manufacturers’ products to be awarded top marks. It is a testament to Kia’s on going
commitment to vehicle safety that we are able to once again boast a high score
for the cee’d,” comments Benny Oeyen, Vice President Marketing and Product
Planning, Kia Motors Europe.
“From the outset of the new model’s
development, Kia’s engineers were dedicated to creating a car that delivers
sophistication and refinement as well as the very best safety technology to
protect drivers, their families and pedestrians in the event of an accident,”
concludes Oeyen.
Standard safety equipment fitted to
the new cee’d across Europe includes six airbags (front, side and curtain),
seatbelt reminders (front and rear), ESC
(Electronic Stability Control), HAC (Hill Assist Control) to prevent roll-back,
VSM (Vehicle Stability Management) and ESS (Emergency Stop Signal) which
flashes the brake lights when the driver is making an emergency stop.
The new cee’d
joins five other Kia models, Rio, Venga, Soul, Sportage and Sorento, in scoring
a 5-Star rating in EuroNCAP crash test results.
