4 stars for 6 airbags model so if it's the 2 airbags, will be of lower rating.

 

Drivers take note. Better to sit further back cos test results for the upp and lower legs quite jialat lei, onli 0.39 and 1.69 points out of 4 each.

The frontal crash looks ok....the body shell is only slightly deformed.

Funny how the previous cerato got only 3 stars even though the overall score was higher? Maybe judging criteria was different.

 

Old cerato results - 3 stars. The Cerato scored 10.02 out of 16 in the offset crash test. The passenger compartment held its shape reasonably well. Protection from serious leg injury was marginal for the driver. Chest protection was marginal for the passenger.

 

New forte has a slight improvement. But with all the marketing and saletalk abt the safety, might have expected better.
