The Volkswagen Polo and Taigo have achieved five-star NCAP safety scores. The Renault Megane E-Tech Electric and Lexus NX also earned top marks in the latest round of testing
The new Lexus NX, which shares its platform with the Toyota RAV4, also scored five stars. Its highest rating was 91% for safety assist, while its lowest was a still-impressive 83% for vulnerable road user protection.
The SUV achieved the score despite Lexus not providing all of the model's technical information, which Euro NCAP said left “a careless impression that is atypical for a Toyota brand”. Elsewhere, the BMW 2 Series Coupé scored four stars out of five, with an “adequate” autonomous emergency braking system that protects against cars and pedestrians. It is however limited when cyclists are involved. Other models tested in this round included the Volkswagen ID 5 electric SUV, which shared the five-star score achieved by the almost identical ID 4.
The Ford Tourneo Connect MPV, which is based on the new Volkswagen Caddy, also earned the same five-star score. New vehicle legislation will come into effect this July, mandating the fitment of important safety systems. Speed assistance and autonomous braking will be required on all new vehicles.
