2018 DS 3 Crash Test & Rating
8The passenger compartment of the DS 3 remained stable in the frontal offset impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of theknees and femurs of the driver and passenger. DS showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions.
In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver's chest was rated as weak, based on readings of compression. For the rear passenger dummy, readings of compression and shoulder load indicated poor protection for thechest and head injury values also indicated poor protection. In both the side barrier and more severe side pole tests, protection, based ondummy readings, was good for all critical body areas. However, the side curtain airbag failed the coverage requirements for the front row. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated marginal protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated marginal protection.
