Nine out of ten cars that have passed crash test Euro NCAP, received the highest rating - five stars. Safety requirements for 2012 model year cars have become even tougher than before.
If you arrange all the participants of crash tests in alphabetical order, the winners are: Audi A6, BMW X3, Chevrolet Aveo, Chevrolet Orlando, Citroen DS5, Hyundai i40, Opel Ampera, VW Golf Cabriolet, and VW Jetta. Kia Picanto had earned only four stars, in particular because of the lack of basic configuration options ESP.
But in spite of high scores, none of the participants did not succeed in the field of systems for pedestrian protection. For example, model A6, Ampera and DS5 meet the standard requirements only Euro NCAP. The standard of the safest car in terms of pedestrians at the moment can be considered only Ford Focus 2011.
