Super TestCar reviews - Chrysler - Neon - LE sedanChrysler modelsSafety10 Jan 2001 SWITCHABLE low-speed traction control is standard on the LE. The traction control is functional up to 56km/h. Power-assisted anti-lock braking system is also standard on LE. ABS and traction control are a combined option on the base model SE. The Neon's dual frontal airbags are certified to US regulations that allow less forceful ignition. Other safety features include an energy-absorbing steering column, front knee blockers along the bottom of the instrument panel which help prevent the occupant sliding under the panel in an accident, anti-submarining seat design that helps prevent passengers slipping under the seatbelt in an accident, height-adjustable shoulder belts and an increased front-end crumple zone. On the debit side, there's no lap-sash centre-rear belt and no seatbelt pretensionsers. Did you know?The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the US evaluated the crashworthiness of the Neon in a 64km/h frontal offset impact into a deformable barrier and gave it a marginal overall rating. The Neon showed only slight improvement compared with the performance of the previous modelAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
