MG Motor Australia CEO Peter Ciao has committed to full five-star ANCAP safety ratings for all future models in response to criticism over a recent 'critical safety failure' in European NCAP testing.
The Chinese automaker has faced backlash after Euro NCAP testing of the MG 3 light hatchback, which exposed a driver's seat latching mechanism failure that caused the driver's seat to twist partway through a frontal offset impact.
As a result, the MG 3 received a 'poor' score for protection of the driver's legs, while the driver dummy's head was also found to "bottom out" the airbag against the steering wheel.
It's an issue Euro NCAP says it hasn't seen in the assessment of hundreds of passenger vehicles it has conducted since 1997.
