Tougher Euro NCAP test makes five-star rating more valuable than ever, but some cars still fare badly

BMW X1 Euro NCAP

The Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Audi Q3 and Ford Ranger have all earned five-star ratings in the latest round of Euro NCAP tests.

The Ford Focus – the second-best selling car in Britain in January – earned a score of 92 per cent to secure a five star rating, while the Ford Ranger scored 96 per cent in adult and 86 per cent in child occupant safety, with 81 per cent in pedestrian safety to lock in its five star performance.

The Nissan Leaf has scored a five-star rating after being reassessed, while the Volvo V60 scored 100 per cent in the Safety Assist criteria as part of its five-star rating. The Audi Q3, Honda Civic, BMW X1, BMW 1 Series and Subaru XV all picked up the top rating. 

The only poor result came from Jeep. The Jeep Compass underperformed in the side-impact pole test, while it fared even worse by scoring only 23 per cent in the pedestrian safety area. The low scoring meant that, even though it was tested with optional thorax airbags, it could only earn a two-star rating.

The next round of Euro NCAP results are due in late May 2012.

Jeep disaster

Oh dear!

You'd have thought Jeep would do better than 2 stars. Bit of a disaster for them...
