Euro NCAP | Fiat Brava | 1998 | Crash test

http://www.euroncap.com/tests/fiat_brava_1998/32.aspx
Frontal Impact takes place at 64 Km/h, 40% of the width of the car striking a deformable barrier. In the side impact, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door at 50 km/h. In the pole test, the car tested is propelled sideways at 29km/h into a rigid pole.

Before you criticize FIAT, look at the SAAB 900, VW Passat in 1998 and not on how much better when comparing the price of cars!

good thing im selling this, Terrible safety.

@KONYturbo Wrong. The Passat was already updated for MY1998, the SAAB 900 was already changed by the 9-3 by that time, and plus, you're comparing a compact car (Brava) against two mid-sized cars. Which makes matters worse, you're comparing a 1995 car left unchanged, against a completely redesigned car (Passat) and a heavily facelifted car (900/9-3). The only car this Brava should be compared to was the last-gen Ford Escort.

modern fiats are know for performing well in crash test. the above result isn't a bad result. windshield broke, but dashboard didn't move toward driver. and we must remember that this test was performed in 1998 with a car created a few years before. most cars available worldwide at that time wouldn't perform much better than this one. 10 years is way too much time when refering to car technology. altought I don't really like fiat cars that much, I'm sure most of their cars are not crap either.

@kkohouta  Yes but Brava was from '95 not '98 and crash test is from '98 so you must compare it to Golf Mk3.

No changes in '98 for Brava as i know.

[kkohouta]

@AdrianoCROST -98 VW Golf,is MK.4 And way much safer than this Fiat. But this Brava is lightyear better than Tipo.

Cassino – Piedimonte S. Germano, Italy

Bursa, Turkey

Lol the 3 series from BMW, the C-Class Mercedes, Passat, 406, etc all did terrible those times... its hard to believe the facelifts of all these cars have improved exponentially in safety-wise...

[AdrianoCROST]

@PecaBravo 2 stars

"The Brava was awarded two stars for frontal- and side-impact protection but, with only a small improvement, it would have been awarded a third star. The car's structure became overloaded in the frontal impact and there were significant intrusion problems. However, even without a side airbag, the car meets side-impact legislation to take effect across Europe for new models from October. Finally, the bonnet's leading edge provided better than average pedestrian protection."

[AdrianoCROST]

@MrTR500 Nope it's was good in '98. Look at the VW Golf for example.
