The Chevrolet Groove, a small crossover not widely known, debuted about four years ago with a budget-friendly price of $12,000. Built as a rebadged Baojun 510 by the SAIC-GM-Wuling partnership in China, it is sold in Latin America and the Middle East under the Chevrolet brand. However, its affordability comes at the cost of safety, as it recently received a zero-star rating from Latin NCAP’s crash tests.

In a frontal impact test, the Groove showed an “unstable structure” with only “marginal” protection for the driver’s chest, knees, and feet. Side impact tests revealed troubling levels of intrusion into the passenger compartment. Standard safety features include just four airbags, and advanced driver assistance systems are not available. Pedestrian protection also rated poorly, offering weak to marginal protection for the head and poor protection for upper legs.

Scores across key categories were disappointing: 39.42% for Adult Occupant, 68.57% for Child Occupant, 36.37% for Pedestrian Protection and Vulnerable Road Users, and 58.14% for Safety Assist. Latin NCAP strongly urged Chevrolet to address these safety concerns immediately.

This result is concerning for a popular model like the Groove, and Latin NCAP recommends consumers avoid it until Chevrolet makes significant safety improvements.
