Safest cars in the WORLD revealed!

Here it is - the definitive list of the top 10 safest cars you can currently buy!

We’ve worked with Euro NCAP to find out which cars are currently top of their list when it comes to safety!

When Euro NCAP rank each car between 5 to 0 stars, they look at four different categories. These are adult occupant protection, child occupant protection, vulnerable road users (i.e. how badly or not badly a car may harm a pedestrian), and safety assists (e.g. such as auto-braking tech).

So there you have it! The question is, do you own a car on this list? Or more importantly, if your car has a poor Euro NCAP rating, would you sell it and buy a different one instead? Let us know in the COMMENTS!

Would you buy one of the cars on this list? 🤔

Safety is often overlooked when people buy cars (esp while buying old cars). Perhaps a list of safest 5 cars by budget and by category would be great. I know NCAP has a list but a Matt take may just help reach more people and its importance :)

The Alfa Romeo Giulia, and not many people know this, is still the only car that got 98% (And the Stelvio got 97%, same as the model Y). If you have watched Jeremy Clarkson's clip on the Grand Tour, you'll remember him saying the B pillar is too far forward making a bit difficult to get in and out of the car if you're not slim. That's not a mistake. Moving the B pillar a few inches forward made the Giulia the safest car ever, at least for its driver. Part of the merits, of course, go the body's structural rigidity that also helps with handling.

It would be nice to see how safe cars like VW Polo, Renault Clio, Dacia Sandero, Peugeot 208, Ford Fiesta and similars are performing in the safety tests. I mean, cars that most of the people can actually buy.

[aasdairpage]

Finally, you’ve discussed safety. Will you now include it in your reviews?

[Tomas-txlq]

The Volvo XC60 got 98% in adult protection. Highest ever in Euro Ncap testing.

[JHBEM]

Could you include the euro neap in your individual car tests, very helpful to know it’s safety rating in these four categories. Would be a great additional piece of content.

Very good overview. Safety definitely a factor in buying a new car.

[TheEverydayLifeNetwork]

These new cars are incredible when it comes to safety!

[leandroszoidis]

Interesting progress is made. It is really important that cars are not an agressive impact partner. Hope that this rule is seriously taken into consideration by car companies.

Safety is one of my biggest concerns when car shopping.

Driving a tesla model y almost every day, I can confirm that it recognizes stuff quite early. however there is a downside to this. If a cyclist is on the sidewalk in a curve, the car wont let me drive past him without making loads of noise. Also the model y thinks I am running into parking cars, in a turn, and starts yelling at me, even though I amcompletely aware of those cars. I'd say its sometimes(often) very "overreactive". If that makes it safer in real dangerous situations though, I can totally live with it

The benign crashworthy category could actually save lots of people in the other car, specially countries with older cars.

Mat you never fails to wow us with all these awesome videos!

I’ll always be thankful to Mercedes, a lady once rear ended us—causing her hood to shrivel up and bumper to drop meanwhile the chrome trunk deck lid on my family’s Mercedes got slightly dented along with minor scratches

In my country, there have been quite a few high profile crashes lately and what I've observed is that the more expensive your car, the higher chance you will walk unscathed. For example, a drunk driver with a Q7 killed a couple of girls and smashed the car into a building at 150 km/h. He and the 3 passengers got out and walked unscathed. Can't say the same for the girls tho. Also, in front of my eyes a Panamera hit a rent-a-car at about the same speed. The driver was unscathed, but he killed both passengers in the rented hatchback. So yeah, luxury brands seem to be worth it, at least concerning driver and passenger safety.

Safety is definitely a priority for me and Euro NCAP ratings definitely influence my decision.

When will you review the Ora Cat? Looks like a great car.

[Narinjas]

The surprise for me was the Ora Funky Cat, Interested now to se more about it.
