Euro NCAP crowns the cars first in the standings in their respective categories for the scores reported in the tests conducted in 2022. For the first time there are two Teslas and two new Chinese brands that have just “landed” on the European market.
The results underline the importance of the maximum five-star Euro NCAP rating to certify the safety, credibility and quality of cars sold not only in the Old Continent.
Here are the six awarded models: Hyundai IONIQ 6 is the best-in class in the Large Family Car category; NOW Funky Cat Leads Small Family Car; Tesla Model S among Executive Cars; Tesla Model Y triumphs in the Small Off-Roader category and WEY Coffee 01 stands out among the Large Off-Roaders.
From 2021, Euro NCAP also evaluates electric cars and awards a prize to the best safety performance; this year the recognition goes to the Tesla Model S.
“2022 was one of the busiest years of Euro NCAP – declares the general secretary Michiel van Ratingen – with many new brands and new technologies to be evaluated, offering safe solutions on the market to the full advantage of the safety offered to motorists”.
