Volkswagen’s ID.7 has topped a five-car shortlist to win the 2024 What Car? Safety Award.
It won the award based on Euro NCAP test scores as well safety systems such as active and passive safety technology.
The ID.7 features a variety of innovative safety technology aimed at reducing risk to vulnerable road users such as a pop-up bonnet and sudden door opening prevention should a cyclist ride alongside the driver door. Meanwhile, its 95% adult occupant protection score was also the highest of any car that featured in the Safety Award shortlist.
A statement said: “The ID.7 provides technology to encourage safer driving and performed well across Euro NCAP’s increasingly challenging testing, from passive crash protection to active crash prevention. It is the combination of all these systems within the ID.7 that makes it stand out as the 2024 Safety Award winner.”
Also nominated were the BMW 5 Series, BYD SEAL, Lexus RZ, and Mercedes EQE SUV.
