Five star Euro NCAP tests for Chevrolet and Renault

The Chevrolet Trax and the Renault Captur have both been awarded a maximum five stars in Euro NCAP crash tests.

The Trax scored an impressive 94% in the adult occupant test, while the Captur scored 88%.

President and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac Europe, Susan Docherty, said: "The bold and rugged Trax exterior design suggests a high level of safety at first glance. Safety is, among others, one of the purchase reasons for SUVs. We are really proud of the five-star NCAP test result, confirming what Trax customers expect from our new small SUV."

The Dacia Sandero has been awarded four stars while Nissan’s NV200 Combi scored three.
