\nThe Euro NCAP announces best in class awards for 2022\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

the safety organisation\u2019s busiest-ever year. These are the cars that achieved the highest overall scores, based on their results for Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Vulnerable User Protection and Safety Assist technologies. For the very first time, this list includes two cars from Tesla and two Chinese newcomers to the European market. These results underline the importance of the Euro NCAP five-star rating for establishing safety, credibility, and quality in the European market for vehicle manufacturers in Europe, but also beyond Europe\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n

The winners are the following:\u00a0Hyundai IONIQ 6<\/a>\u00a0wins the best-in-class award in the Large Family Car category; the\u00a0ORA Funky Cat<\/a>\u00a0in the Small Family Car Category;\u00a0Tesla Model S<\/a>\u00a0in the Executive Car category;\u00a0Tesla Model Y<\/a>\u00a0in the Small Off-Roader category and finally\u00a0WEY Coffee 01<\/a>\u00a0in the Large Off-Roader category1<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hyundai IONIQ 6<\/strong>\u00a0achieved exceptionally high results in Adult Occupant Protection with 97%. Fully electric, and with the latest safety technologies, the IONIQ 6 certainly follows the trajectory of recent automotive developments. For child occupants, the\u00a0IONIQ 6<\/strong>\u00a0provided good protection for all critical body regions of both the 6- and 10-year dummies in the frontal offset and side barrier tests and scored maximum points in this part of the assessment.<\/p>\n

2022 was notable for the number of new Chinese brands coming to Europe and achieving great results. Following some less-than-successful attempts to break into the European market in the past, several manufacturers are showing that Chinese brands can now compete on safety with well-established European brands. In the Small Family Car category, the\u00a0ORA Funky Cat<\/strong>\u00a0is exceptionally well equipped and, being at the top of its class, outperformed several familiar brands.<\/p>\n

The second Chinese brand car in our best-in-class list is the\u00a0WEY Coffee 01<\/strong>, again highly equipped and performing well in all categories. It was closely followed by the\u00a0LEXUS RX<\/a>, which deserves a mention here.<\/p>\n

Tesla has made a huge impact on the European car market due to its design and ethos. The company has also been determined to make a name for its brand in safety performance.\u00a0Tesla Model S<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Tesla Model Y<\/strong>\u00a0are both high achievers in Adult Occupant Protection and both vehicles achieved the highest score of 98% in Safety Assist of all the vehicles in this list.\u00a0Tesla Model S<\/strong>\u00a0is also the best in class achiever in the Pure Electric category.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2022 has been one of Euro NCAP\u2019s busiest years yet and we have seen a lot of new car makers and new technologies.\u00a0 It\u2019s clear a good Euro NCAP rating is seen by car manufacturers as critical to success in Europe.\u00a0 This can only mean better safety equipment and safer cars for European consumers all round. Michiel van Ratingen, Euro NCAP\u2019s Secretary General<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
