Euro NCAP has awarded all six of the vehicles in its latest round of testing either four or five stars for safety.
The fully electric Kia EV6 received a five-star rating with a strong 90% result in the Adult Occupant Protection category. It also scored maximum points in Euro NCAP’s challenging side barrier and pole impact assessments.
Also achieving a five-star rating were the Volvo C40 Recharge and Volkswagen Multivan, with both achieving the highest Child Occupant Protection score (89%) seen so far in 2022, and both also including a centre-console airbag.
Meanwhile, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class scored 93% in Adult Occupant Protection to also secure five stars. It also offers Reverse Autonomous Emergency Braking as an optional extra option.
Completing a positive set of test results, the Peugeot 308 and Vauxhall Astra each received four stars.
Matthew Avery, Director of Research, said, “These latest results show that the vast majority of carmakers are working in partnership with Euro NCAP and continuing to increase safety for the benefit of the drivers and other road users, resulting in four and five-star cars across a spectrum of price points, sizes and styles.”
