2018 Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe Safety and Reliability

The 4C has not been tested by the NHTSA or the IIHS and therefore has no crash rating available. However, as an extremely limited sales volume car, this isn't out of the ordinary. There is solace to be taken, though, in the fact that the 4C's carbon-fiber monocoque chassis is inherently strong.

The 4C's safety features are limited to the usual anti-lock brakes and stability control systems. Further to that, seatbelt pretensioners are included. The Alfa is equipped with dual front airbags and dual overhead airbags, as well as knee airbags for both driver and passenger. That's it, though, and there's not even a hint of driver assistance - unless you consider the automatic gearbox allowing you to keep both hands on the wheel an assist feature. Cruise control can be added as part of the Convenience Package.

There is no J.D. Power reliability rating available for the Alfa Romeo 4C, but the good news is there have also been no recalls for the low-volume seller. The 4C is covered by Alfa's four-year/50,000-mile basic limited warranty as well as a five-year/unlimited-mileage anti-corrosion warranty.
