Luxurious and… safe? This is the score of DS9 in EuroNCAP, the large salon of the independent Citroën company. It is one of the most luxurious cars to have been produced in its entire history, a model that exudes exclusivity, elegance and good taste. It’s okay, but is it safe? The first answer that will come to mind is yes, although it is worth confirming this idea with the EuroNCAP tests.
The DS 9 is large enough to touch five metres. Thus, it fights in the segment of executive sedans, where we find well-known names such as the Audi A6 or the BMW 5 Series. The details of its interior, its equipment and its elements focused on safety They make us feel that we are traveling in a premium car. Although we have to measure the last section of this video.

And if we talk about EuroNCAP security, let’s talk about test frontal impact, side impact and pedestrian tests. They also measure their response with the different active safety systems, testing it according to the car’s equipment, with car-to-car emergency braking scenarios, occupant status monitoring, lane assist technologies and speed assist.
The result was four stars, a bit disappointing in this sense not getting the long-awaited five stars. It receives 79% in adult safety and 86% when it comes to child occupants. It protects pedestrians by 67% and also receives a 67% rating in safety systems. A car that stands out for its E-Tense versions and that has a high price.
