This is one of the mandatory points for new cars on the market. Although these tests are not mandatory for the car to be put on the market, they are still very important and, above all, a guarantee of confidence for customers. Indeed, it is better to buy a car that received the maximum score in these EuroNCAP crash tests than a model that did not really meet the mark. But in recent years, the process has become particularly demanding, taking into account new criteria such as driver aids. This can quickly turn things upside down for some vehicles.

Electric ones are a hit
During 2022, several dozen cars of various origins and types were tested. But in reality, not everyone is in the same boat, and some manage to succeed. This is especially true electric models, and especially at Tesla. Indeed, the Model S and Model X consistently receive excellent ratings for both passenger and road user protection and driver assistance features. In general, the electrics work very well, like in the Hyundai Ioniq 6 or the GWM Ora.
Europeans are lagging behind
On the other hand, not everything is so rosy European brands, who are now trying to get the maximum score in these tests. Indeed, many climax Only 4 stars, which is obviously very disappointing. But why ? Well, you should pay attention to driver aids, which are often lacking in cars on the Old Continent. Still, things are starting to pick up little by little, and the vehicles developed here just keep getting better and better. But there is more to come…
