Toyota Verso tops safety ratings
Mar 23 2009Toyota's latest model has complied with the highest possible rating in the new safety standards introduced by the European Union.
In a move that could encourage more people to buy used Toyotas, the firm's new Verso has been designed to ensure it meets the five-star rating under the more stringent Euro NCAP crash testing requirements.
Among the improved safety features that could encourage more people to purchase a used car from a TOYOTA dealer in future are seven airbags, including curtain airbag protection for third row passengers; energy-absorbing pads for improved protection for second and third row occupants; and improved pedestrian impact safety.
"Thanks to the combination of all these elements and Toyota’s extensive in-house testing programme, it is expected to earn a top five-star rating in the new, more stringent Euro NCAP crash test programme," the company said.
Earlier this month it was announced that the VOLKSWAGEN Golf had been awarded five stars in the Euro NCAP safety standards.
The Golf also received the highest overall rating of any car tested under the NCAP rules, making it an attractive option for people looking for a used car.
