The emphasis on safety is heightened by the fact that the C3 is built on an entirely new platform.

While the C3 features a traditional suspension set-up at the front, with Macpherson struts,

the rear suspension is a fresh design with a flexible transverse beam linked to an anti-roll bar.

The new configuration is a superb combination of comfort and dynamic performance.

Incorporated in the body is ring of steel and energy-absorbing side-impact protection, with a

shock-absorbing front bumper and protective side mouldings. In fact, up to 41 per cent of the C3

is made from high-strength steel. This makes the C3 light without compromising safety.

For added driver protection, a steering column ‘body block’ system is fitted on the steering

column. In an accident, the column retracts by 50mm to reduce the risk of chest injury.

C3 has five 3-point seatbelts. Each, except for the middle rear, is also fitted with force limiters.

The two front seatbelts are height-adjustable and equipped with pyrotechnic pretensioners.

In the back, you’ll find three child restraint points.

As mentioned, C3 also offers a programmable ‘over-speed’ warning to let you know if you’re going

too fast, along with powerful ‘guide-me-home’ headlights that remain on for a period of time as

you alight from your car. To reduce driver fatigue, the instrument cluster has a ‘black panel’

function that dims the light from the dash to minimise driver distraction during night driving.
