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!

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 :)

[@kalmmonke5037]

they said they will or have changed crash tests to account for the higher height of average car since so called suv became popular... so now sedans wagons etc have to be heaver top area so they will have more tedency to roll over so more stiff suspension and ex[ensive things to make it all preform with comfort... car height and weight should be penalizaed by heavy tax because in some situations, people in heavy car are protected in crash with lighter car but people in lighter car are more likley to suffer.. but statistically there is not so much benefit to heavy car for saftey as explained in video by aptera owners club on saftey. lighter cars cost less in raw materials, health problems (and climate change, if you beleive that is caused by co2 kinda of stuff) caused by emissions including microplastics from parts dumped at junkyard and stuff liek windhsield washer fluid, heavy car cost more to manufaturer and consumer (see aptera owners club video on cost and suspension geomrty), weight wears on roads creating more need to pay for road repairs, bigger cars make traffic congestion worse because space taken up per occupant in car. japan gives tax credit to kei car owner for these reson but of course law should also incentivise even smaller improvements.

[@kalmmonke5037]

weight and more weight futhur from ground makes it more expesnsive to make car not bumpy over road imperfection and make make it not roll over when moving fast around turns, taller wider cars are lress areodynamic which adds on energy cost to move the increased weight and make the weight crash safe.

[@kalmmonke5037]

certain geometries also help with crash saftey, for example egg shell is easy to break but when its part of a unbroken egg, its suprisingly strong structure against breaking

[@nomad6-1]

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.

[@SusieSmart]

The Giulia was tested back in 2016 and the tests have become harder since then. Be interesting to have it re-tested now and see what it scores.

[@user-md6ec7wp4m]

I rank the safety stuff in cars pretty high up (Top 5 criteria) when deciding on a car to buy. I even watch the NCAP testing videos 😂. I won't buy a car that I do not feel safe in, as I drive a lot for work. I do feel it is also important to drive a car as well and feel what you like the most and feel safest in (generally more placsticky stuff feels less safe). I feel the NCAP is a little biased to the first category though, whilst the avoidance stuff is pretty important to prevent problems in the first place. Please add as a criteria in your reviews, so many of the more affordable and small cars also have a sub-3 NCAP safety rating (eg Renault Zoe has 0! and Dacia generally a 1 star), which is just not good enough anymore and should be highlighted. Also important to highlight some of these ratings are impacted by optional safety packs, not always present in a standard option.

[@alexanderdenchev7967]

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.

[@schlechtestergtaspielerdek3851]

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

[@bartwaggoner2000]

The nice thing about problems like this is that Tesla will push an update over the air to you at some point and solve this, unlike most other companies

[@petteri2506]

You can actually choose how early the car starts beeping at you when it notices a possible crash. I personally like it on "early" even though its sometimes annoying when it starts beeping at you of a car you clearly can see is braking or something.

[@Muskar2]

@Alejandro There's roughly 5 Tesla fires per 1 billion miles and roughly 53 fires per billion miles for the average vehicle. Those numbers include arson, structure fires and other reasons unrelated to the vehicle. I've heard rumors about higher severity of those fires and especially that firemen are sometimes uneducated on them and/or that battery fires persist for much longer. And in the opposite direction, I've heard the car have been able to warn occupants that the battery firewall has been punctured long before the fire spreads. I don't know the statistics of those aspects though. But I know that Tesla fires are vastly overreported in the news.

[@JellyLancelot]

@Alejandro Bare in mind, no-one is interested in a 'typical car fire' because it won't get clicks. Putting 'Tesla catches fire AGAIN' in a headline will drive clicks. They are still far safer and have less fires than 'normal' ICE cars.

[@Muskar2]

@Alejandro Anecdotes and extrapolations don't really matter objectively though, unless they plan to be used on a class action against Tesla for fraud, which I doubt there's merit for. So those anecdotes primarily create fear and confirmation bias. Tesla haven't published statistics for 2022 yet (and likely won't until May 2023) but their fire incidents have falling slightly since 2019 so it'd be odd if it had reversed and multiplied by over 10 this year. We'll see though.

Excellent video. The NCAP rating does influence my thinking but I also like to look at what the US IIHS say as well on their small frontal impact tests as NCAP don’t do those. What I would like to see is published transparent data about real world crashes showing injuries and deaths in each vehicle in different circumstances. I’d also like to see tests of older vehicles as used by young drivers to see if protection has diminished. Journalists should ensure that poor performance is highlighted, not ignored (Dacia).

[@meriofrog]

Death is not a good metric to determine how safe a car is. There are a lot of variables in fatal crashes.

[@onelyone6976]

The main reason for Dacias low scores is the lack of active systems like automatic braking and those expensive systems can’t really be on cars this cheap. If those systems weren’t accounted for a lot of their cars would achieve 5 star ratings

Before the car completed the flip, all of the airbags immediately deployed and none of the glass was broken. By the time I got to the driver’s side to pull him out, he was already crawling through the door, and the only damage he sustained was a tiny slash on the back of his left hand from items that flew around inside the cabin.

The thing is they usually happen in very particular circumstances. Like on a Tesla if you're on autopilot and it's out in the boonies on a straight road, and there's no other traffic, and there's heat shimmer on the highway, and you crest a hill as it sees the heat shimmer it will often hit the brakes for a moment because it thinks it might be an object.

Personally, if I had to choose one car to be in an accident with and I didn't know what accident and at what speed, I'd choose to entrust a Volvo

Mat can you drag race a Tesla Model S Plaid against a Lamborghini Ultimae with Yianni?

[@rasherbasher8203]

No..

[@mikaeloverby]

No match

[@anotherplottwist]

Watching the videos makes one wonder how they grade the pedestrian safety systems.. cars that scored higher looked like they were braking a tad slower than some of the poorer scoring ones.

[@kalle5548]

Yeah, I guess their theory is that if the car brakes earlier it's safer but that's just a guess, and that would be a flawed method

[@jaimerodriguez3408]

Great, now I wanna buy an NX:)

[@axson8]

Number 1 reason why I bought my Model Y, make sure that my family is as safe as possible.

[@Robert-cu9bm]

But it doesn't protect children as well as others.

[@MaticTheProto]

I hope you realize that if you care about the safety of you and your family in the car when it comes to a crash, Mercedes evs tend to be safer. Teslas merely have more assistance systems as standard so they get a point bonus, but since those rely on cameras they aren’t reliable in bad visual conditions

[@kroks06]

those safety features should be mandatory on every new car

[@Robert-cu9bm]

People aren't all rich like you must be. You'd essential say poorer people can't own cars.

[@JaviXCdr]

Would be nice to have a top 10 or 20 of safest car since they change the methodology of the test in 2020

[@haruyanto8085]

Methodology now is more strict, so any cat that scores high with the new methodology is probably more safer than the older rankings

[@lehoff]

The problem with safety assistance is that it could breed-in complacency for people's responsibility when driving. Driving standards are already pretty bad in the UK - so I guess it can help, but I'd rather people actually paid more attention and learned advanced road craft than rely on tech.

What is the pedestrian impact ratings for hummer ev? 😁

Rated extremely safe.

Model Y, Krieger Pioneer and Subaru Impreza.

[@thelegendoftheweek776]

Well glad to know my car is the safest on this list.

[@rmanningau]

Absolutely, a good score or bad score more importantly would push me away from a car.

[@purwantiallan5089]

I got a good score on those cars.

Mat can you drag race a Tesla Model S Plaid against a Lucid Air with The Stig?

[@bernieharperyt]

Some people say they would not buy a Tesla because of its styling. If they appreciated how much aero and safety benefits come from its surface design they might see it in a different light.

[@meriofrog]

People just like to complain and hate on Tesla, there will always be something that people will complain about. For example, its the safest car on the road, BUT, its ugly. FSD is the best self driving system in the world right now, but it still doesn't drive itself (no other car does that).

[@MaticTheProto]

@@meriofrog actually chinese cars sh*t on tesla by now. Including in terms of self driving features

[@MaticTheProto]

Teslas aren’t reliable, don’t even have road sign recognition outside the usa, often don’t make it past the first safety inspections, don’t have some of the features that were promised years ago, don’t have high quality materials, lack many convenient things like buttons or even things for safety like a drivers display or hud. But yeah ig as long as the camera based assistance systems work (on a bright summer day) you might be a tad safer. Although honestly the EQE and many chinese cars aren’t worse in any way

Pretty insane that Tesla is already making the safest cars in the world after just ten years of building serious cars. Imagine where they'll be in another ten years. Especially considering they're frequently releasing over the air safety updates like they release other software and performance updates. Even the Model Y today is already much safer then it was when this was tested.
