Safety Outstanding safety With upgraded active, passive and pedestrian impact safety, Verso is designed to achieve the highest Euro NCAP rating - ensuring maximum safety for passengers and pedestrians.
<br /><br />
It features a totally new high rigidity platform built to achieve class-leading safety in frontal, offset, side and rear collision protection.
Airbags In the event of a collision, Verso ensures you and your family are protected with seven separate airbags.
<br /><br />
These include SRS driver and passenger airbags with proximity and rate of impact sensors to ensure proper deployment - helping to prevent injuries. SRS side airbags, SRS curtain shield airbags and a driver's knee airbag are also included as standard.
Whiplash injury protection Verso is equipped with Whiplash Injury Lessening (WIL) concept front seats, along with Active Headrests.
<br /><br />
During rear impact at lower speeds, WIL and Active Headrest cushion the head and back at the same time to reduce the risk of whiplash injuries.
Active safety Verso comes with a host of Active Safety functions to ensure that you stay in control. Traction Control (TRC) will take action if you lose grip on the road, redistributing power to each wheel.
<br /><br />
Meanwhile Vehicle Stability Control+ (VSC+) will automatically adjust steering and engine output where needed to help control Verso if it starts to slide or skid. Both are standard on all Verso grades.
Headlamps & LED stop lights Ultra-bright, high beam Halogen headlamps provide an improved spread of illumination - with an even more powerful, low energy, High Intensity Discharge (HID) xenon option on the Verso Premium grade. These distinctive headlamps are equipped with an automatic beam levelling control to reduce the tendency for high levels of glare.
<br /><br />
At the rear, energy-saving LED combination lights are standard - cutting down on CO<span class="sub">2</span> emissions.
<br /><br />
Brake lights also respond more quickly and at a speed of around 100 km/h, give an extra six metres braking distance to the car behind.
Seat belts Verso seat belts have been designed with integral pre-tensioners and force limiters that help to reduce injuries to the chest area.
<br /><br />
They also feature special ISOFIX anchor points to safely and conveniently secure child seats.
Brakes Verso's advanced braking system features Anti-lock Braking (ABS) to help you maintain control by adjusting the brake force between all four wheels to match the level grip of each one. Electronic Brake Force Redistribution (EBD) complements this by optimising brake force distribution between each wheel.
<br /><br />
Both help prevent the wheels from locking - allowing you to steer around obstacles.
<br /><br />
Brake Assist (BA) also automatically supports emergency braking by measuring how hard the brake pedal is depressed and adjusting brake force as appropriate.
