From Audi to Volkswagen, we name car models from every brand, to see which cars are the safest from every brand, and which cars have performed best in tough new Euro NCAP safety tests…
With road congestion, vehicle safety is becoming increasingly important. Manufacturers continue to innovate and strive to achieve the highest safety standards in an effort to obtain the best results in rigorous new vehicle safety tests. All the way to the safest cars.
Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Program) is an independent non-profit organization that assesses the safety of all new cars . It classifies vehicles after simulated crash tests for road users (pedestrians and bicycles).
Every two years, Euro NCAP updates its tests to improve safety and technology standards.
To make sure it’s still the safest car.
The tests were updated in 2020, and included a new head-on collision to simulate a car crash with another vehicle, a new side impact (with stronger mass) on the passenger side to assess passenger movement and injuries, as well as new scenarios for testing the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems.
This included testing AEB systems against other vehicles.
We list the safest cars for each brand tested by Euro NCAP in 2020 or 2021. In each case, you can see how the car is performing.

Her scores were 80% for adults and 83% for children.
It only got a 57% pedestrian protection rating, which puts it down one star.
The wheel arches and high seats are very similar to an SUV, and the curved roofline is a pure coupe.
So it should be the latest car to enter the burgeoning SUV coupe segment. The Citroën C4 rivals cars like the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, as does the Audi Q3 Sportback and BMW X2.
C4 but it is much cheaper.

And we wouldn’t get carried away calling it a Lamborghini Urus at a discount.
The safest Dacia cars

Statistically discounted cars still have a way to go in terms of safety.
Its two-star rating was primarily due to its 41% and 42% rating for pedestrian protection and safety assistance.
However, it outperformed the Hyundai i10 in protecting adult occupants in a frontal collision.
To become the safest Dacia brand.
The Dacia Sandero Stepway is a small hatchback in SUV style, at a very competitive price. The Dacia Sandero comes with a well-sculpted hood, roof rails, chunky plastic wheel arch extensions, fenders with integrated skid plates, and extras well suited for urban woodland.

The
Ford Mustang Mach-E is not only the safest car, it’s the famous muscle car, and the letter “E” in its name stands for “electric”.
It dates back more than half a century, and throughout its life it has remained almost the same muscular design, it is in fact a completely different pony.
It is Ford’s first foray into the electric car market, and its closest price rivals are the Kia e-Niro and Volkswagen ID.4, and the Tesla Model 3.

The Honda Jazz was also named the safest car, and it also won the Small Car of the Year award for 2022, due to its impressive level of practicality in addition to the eco-friendly hybrid engine.
