The lack of airbags explained the poor result in the test as the structure was rated as stable in the frontal crash test. The low score for child occupant protection is explained by the high readings in the dummies during the crash test, the lack of three point seatbelts and wrong instructions manual indications for CRS installation. The Picanto was not tested in side impact because the frontal test was already a zero star car, however, and in contrast with the more expensive and also tested Peugeot 208, the Picanto offers basic side impact structural and interior protection like door reinforcements and pelvis protection in the inner door panel.Latin NCAP is disappointed to see a global car manufacturer like Kia offering a successful model like the Picanto with such poor safety performance.[YOUTUBE]_uF27kTIY_Q[/YOUTUBE]Link: <a href="http://www.globalncap.org/latin-ncap-latest-results-2/" target="_blank">http://www.globalncap.org/latin-ncap-latest-results-2/</a></blockquote>
