Is the lower crash test rating of the Kia Carens X Line compensated by its safety features?
All three models of the Kia Carens (Including X Line variant) scored 3 stars in the Global NCAP crash tests. As many of you may already aware, this has been a point of concern for many potential buyers, particularly because it's a family car. But, on the X Line trim, you get a host of safety features such as 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, hill start assist and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Kia says these active safety features increase the vehicle's overall safety, possibly preventing accidents before they happen. This is an intriguing debate about the appropriate balance between passive safety (crash protection) and active safety features on modern vehicles, and how high tech safety aids can mitigate structural deficiencies.
No way. Poor structural integrity can't be fixed with all the fancy safety tech in the world. I wouldn't have my family in a car rated 3 stars no matter how many air bags it had.
