As anticipated, the 2008 Peugeot 207 CC and MINI Cooper models managed to obtain a five-star rating in adult occupant safety in Euro NCAP’s latest safety results which were released earlier today. That’s a 1-star upgrade for the MINI Cooper over its predecessor which was tested in 2002 (the previous generation 206 CC hadn’t been tested by Euro NCAP). -Continued: Click “Read More…” belowBoth cars achieved a poor two-star score in pedestrian protection. Oddly enough, the 207 hatchback has achieved a 3-star rating in the same safety test.

Summary of Results
Superminis - Occupant Protection - Child Protection - Pedestrian
MINI Cooper - 5 stars - 3 stars - 2 stars
Peugeot 207CC - 5 stars -N/A - 2 stars
