⭐ Changan Deepal S07 PHEV carries over five-star safety ⭐

The Changan Deepal S07 PHEV joins Euro NCAP’s ratings as a variant of the Deepal S07, originally assessed in 2024. 🚙⭐

The original S07 delivered a strong overall safety performance, with a stable passenger compartment in the frontal offset test and maximum points in both the side barrier and more severe side pole impact assessments. Its autonomous emergency braking system also performed well in tests involving other vehicles, cyclists, and motorcyclists. As a variant of the already-rated S07, the PHEV benefits from the same underlying safety assessment and continues the model line’s five-star Euro NCAP rating. 🛡️✅

⭐ MAZDA 2 Hybrid receives a four-star Euro NCAP rating ⭐

The MAZDA 2 Hybrid receives a four-star Euro NCAP rating under the 2025 protocols, carried over from its Toyota Yaris sister model. 🚗⭐

In crash testing, the passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal offset test, while the MAZDA scored maximum points in both the side barrier and more severe side pole impact tests, providing good protection to all critical body areas.🛡️

The car’s AEB system performs well in tests involving cyclists, motorcyclists, and other vehicles, while lane support and speed assistance systems also contribute to its overall safety performance. However, its standard indirect driver monitoring system did not meet Euro NCAP’s requirements. ⚙️

⭐ Pickup truck BYD SHARK picks up 5 stars from Euro NCAP ⭐

The BYD SHARK pickup gathers a five-star Euro NCAP rating based on a 2025 assessment. 🚙⭐

The rating was adapted from ANCAP Safety testing and supplemented by Euro NCAP’s own frontal offset and barrier impact evaluations. 💥

Despite a post-test penalty after a side curtain airbag failed to deploy correctly, the SHARK delivers good driver assistance performance to help prevent crashes, alongside solid crash protection in the event of an impact. 🛡️⚙️

⭐ XPENG X9 earns five stars, but touchscreen reliance raises concerns ⭐

The XPENG X9 achieves a five-star Euro NCAP rating under the new 2026 protocols, supported by strong Crash Avoidance and excellent Post-Crash Safety performance. 🚗⭐

However, the large MPV relies heavily on its central touchscreen for core functions, scoring just 20% for its primary driving controls. Euro NCAP’s latest protocols encourage direct physical inputs for essential functions to help reduce driver distraction. 📱⚠️

The X9 also lost ground in its speed assistance system during Euro NCAP’s 2,000 km real-world European drive, struggling with conditional speed limits and some protocol requirements. 🛣️

⭐ Kia EV2 achieves five stars with excellent driver monitoring in Euro NCAP’s 2026 protocols ⭐

The new Kia EV2 secures Euro NCAP’s maximum five-star safety rating, with strong performances across Safe Driving and Crash Protection. 🚙⭐

Like the Audi Q7, the EV2 performs particularly well for its driving controls, showing how physical inputs like buttons and stalks can help keep important functions simple and accessible for the driver. 🔘

The EV2's Driver State Monitoring system also impresses, with driver assistance features such as lane departure prevention adjusting their warning strategy according to whether the driver is attentive or distracted. A robust Crash Protection performance assists secure the EV2’s five-star result. 🛡️⚙️

⭐ Audi Q7 brings back buttons and earns five stars ⭐

The new Audi Q7 is awarded Euro NCAP’s maximum five-star rating under this year's tougher protocols. 🚗🛡️

Audi scores an impressive 90% overall for driving controls, including 100% for essential driving tasks and 80% for comfort and infotainment. The Q7 makes good use of clearly visible, well-positioned physical buttons and stalks, helping drivers operate key functions without unnecessary distraction. 🔘✅

The Q7 also impresses with a lane departure system that adjusts warnings and interventions depending on how attentive the driver is, alongside excellent occupant protection in frontal, side, and pole impacts. 🛣️

⭐ Buttons are back for basic functions Euro NCAP confirms in testing ⭐

Euro NCAP’s recent testing shows that some car manufacturers are making a steady return in favour of buttons and switches for basic functions, rather than using touchscreens and voice control. Three new cars, the Audi Q7, Kia EV2, and XPENG X9, were recently tested and offer interesting insights. 🔘🚗

Audi, part of the Volkswagen Group, which has previously been criticised for doing away with buttons and switches, now scores a high 90% overall for driving controls with a return to physical input. The Kia EV2, a smaller SUV, also achieves excellent scores for its driving controls. In contrast, the Chinese car maker XPENG relies too heavily on the central touchscreen, which research has proven to be distracting, scoring only 20% for its primary driving controls. 📱⚠️

Under the Safe Driving section of Euro NCAP’s safety rating, the key driving controls – indicators, windscreen wipers and washer, hazard warning lights, horn and eCall emergency button – should all be operated by a direct physical input rather than hidden within a menu on a touchscreen. 🛡️

Aled Williams, Programme Director for Euro NCAP, says, "Euro NCAP is continually monitoring market trends, and the move toward placing as many driving controls within a car’s touchscreen system is one that has concerned us just as much as it has annoyed consumers. Our latest protocols in 2026 reward the intelligent use of physical buttons and controls, as this can reduce driver distraction, and both Audi’s new Q7 and Kia’s EV2 do an excellent job of keeping safety simple. Other manufacturers, including XPENG, would do well to follow this strategy."

Your question: How does Euro NCAP ensure diversity in its testing? 🤔

Our answer:
From 2026, Euro NCAP includes a wider variety of heights, sizes, and statures in the dummies used in full-scale crash tests, sled testing, and virtual simulations. 👥

This helps Euro NCAP assess how well vehicles protect a more diverse range of occupants, including women and people of different body types. 🚗

It means Euro NCAP’s safety rating reflects the diversity of the population better than ever. ⭐

⚠️ Immediate updates to trailer design necessary to save lives on European roads ⚠️

At IAA Transportation in Hannover, Euro NCAP is calling on Europe’s truck and trailer manufacturers to take voluntary action on rear underrun protection, following tests showing that rear guards built to the current mandatory UN standard can fail in a 56 km/h impact. Rear underrun collisions happen when a passenger car strikes the rear of a heavy trailer and slides beneath it, and these cause hundreds of fatal collisions on European roads each year. 🚛🛡️

Euro NCAP believes proven solutions such as IIHS TOUGHGUARD in the US offer European industry an opportunity to improve safety now, rather than waiting years for regulatory change. 🛣️🚗

“We applaud the next-step conversations in the UNECE working groups. But legislation should set the floor, not the ceiling… There is no reason to wait for legal mandates when simple, voluntary changes to trailer rear guard designs can start saving lives on our roads immediately,” calls Matthew Avery, Euro NCAP’s Director of Strategic Development. 🗣️

Alongside its latest 2026 assessments, Euro NCAP releases additional results for the Kia K4 and Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabrio, assessed under the 2025 testing protocols. 🚗⭐

The Kia K4 receives four stars with its standard equipment and five stars when fitted with the optional Safety Pack. First tested by ANCAP Safety Ratings in 2025, its Euro NCAP rating is supported by additional testing carried out in Europe. ⚙️

The Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabrio receives five stars. The four-seat soft-top is a variant of the CLE Coupé assessed under Euro NCAP’s 2025 protocols, allowing the Coupé’s safety scores to be carried across to the Cabriolet. 🛡️
