Notable Euro NCAP Results

πŸ† Tesla Model 3 β€” Best in Class 2025

Named Best Large Family Car in 2025 testing. 96% adult protection, and an industry-leading 98% safety assist score thanks to comprehensive autonomous emergency braking capabilities.

πŸ† Volvo XC90 β€” 100% Safety Assist

The first vehicle ever to score 100% in Euro NCAP's safety assist category (2015). Volvo's City Safety system with automatic braking detection set the benchmark.

⚠️ Mazda MX-5 β€” 4 Stars (No AEB)

Scored 84% adult protection and an exceptional 93% pedestrian protection (highest ever at time of test), but received only 4 stars due to lacking AEB. The US MX-5 has no IIHS test at all β€” making this Euro NCAP data invaluable.
