Lacetti Premiere Receives Maximum Five-Star Safety Rating in Europe
Lacetti Premiere
The compact sedan received a maximum 16 points in the frontal offset collision test and a maximum 8 points in the side impact crash test against a moving deformable barrier. The Lacetti Premiere is the first passenger car to receive maximum scores in both tests since EuroNCAP began providing crash test ratings in 1997.
The independent European testing organization also awarded the compact sedan a high score of 7.3 out of 8 points in the more severe side pole test, indicating that the Lacetti Premiere’s reinforced side shell helps protect passengers in the event of a side collision. The Lacetti Premiere’s headrests were well positioned to absorb crash energy against whiplash in a rear-end collision. The Lacetti Premiere was also given high marks for child and pedestrian protection during testing.
“We are pleased with the Lacetti Premiere’s outstanding safety rating,” said Mike Arcamone, GM Daewoo President and CEO. “Today’s results confirm that the Lacetti Premiere offers benchmark safety. This complements its bold styling, excellent ride and handling, and outstanding value for money.”
The Lacetti Premiere had earlier received best-in-class, five-star crash safety ratings in Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) testing in Australia and Chinese New Car Assessment Program (C-NCAP) testing in China.
The Lacetti Premiere’s safety begins with its solid body structure. The compact sedan features a new body-frame integral (BFI) system supplemented with finely tuned chassis components. With the BFI system, the upper body structure and frame are engineered as a single unit, offering a heightened sense of solidity and stability.
Sixty-four percent of the structure is constructed of high-strength steel, offering a high level of protection. Reinforcing the door and locker seal applications, the use of ultra-high-strength steel for the B-pillars and the efficient aluminum bumper application further ensure maximum safety.
The Lacetti Premiere includes as standard a full range of active and passive safety features usually found only on more expensive vehicles, including:
· Electronic Stability Control;
· Traction control;
· Anti-lock brakes;
· Brake assist;
· Electronic Brake-force Distribution;
· Driver, front passenger, front side and curtain air bags;
The Lacetti Premiere is a member of a new range of small, compact and mid-size products being rolled out in markets around the world. It is or will be built in Korea, Russia and the United States, and sold in nearly every market.
