Skoda Scala scores five stars at Euro NCAP

The Skoda Scala has received the highest rating of five stars in the Euro NCAP test, putting it among the safest vehicles in its category, with top marks for the protection of adult occupants and cyclists.

In addition to the overall five-star rating, the Skoda Scala scored especially high in the Euro NCAP test assessments of adult occupant safety and cyclist safety. In the Adult Occupant Protection category, the roomy compact model received a score of 97% of all possible points. This is one of the highest ratings in the history of the Euro NCAP. Testers awarded the full six points for cyclist protection, reflecting the beneficial effect of the Front Assist with Predictive Pedestrian and Cyclist Protection and City Emergency Brake function included as standard.

The Skoda Scala's extremely stiff body with its large deformation zones and extremely robust occupant cell ensures superior passive safety, using an almost 70% share of high-strength, ultra-high-strength and specially hardened steels. In addition, the compact model comes with up to nine airbags, including an optional knee airbag for the driver and optional side airbags at the rear.
