Stellantis, Rams parent company, has been accused of discrimination by Latin NCAPs Chairman, Stephan Brodziak, after the Ram 700 / Fiat Strada got a one-star safety rating.
The poor result is blamed on the unstable structure, unstable foot-well area, differences between the seats of the single- and double-cab variants, poor-performing side airbags that showed “incorrect deployment,” and lack of safety gear.
As a result, the Ram 700 / Fiat Strada single-cab was ‘awarded’ with 47.47% in Adult Occupant protection, 22.08% Child Occupant protection, 40.23% Pedestrian protection, and 41.86% for the Safety Assist. The double-cab got 41.39%, 52.96%, 40.23%, and 48.84% respectively.
