The latest Fiat Tipo? recently underwent safety testing by Euro NCAP and was awarded 3 stars based on safety equipment that is standard across all versions of the car. When tested with an optional safety pack, the Tipo achieved 4 stars. The Tipo was tested under Euro NCAP's dual rating system, which allows two star ratings for the same vehicle: a base rating which indicates the safety of the car fitted only with standard safety equipment, and, if the manufacturer wishes, a second rating for the car fitted with an optional ?safety pack' that is offered on all versions, is available in all markets and sold in significant numbers. The dual rating lets consumers see the improvement in safety which can be achieved by the additional crash avoidance equipment.
