"A compact Chinese electric hatchback has the highest occupant safety score in Euro NCAP history. It adds to the growing list of very safe Chinese cars available in Europe. All four Chinese cars recently tested by Euro NCAP got the maximum five-star rating, while European cars from BMW or VW got four stars. Chinese cars were once notorious for their terrible safety ratings. But things have changed."
"The Leapmotor B10, the latest EV from the Stellantis-backed Chinese automaker that also makes the tiny T03, scored a very impressive 93% for both adult and child protection and 85% in the safety assist category, being awarded the full five-star rating. The batch also included the Volvo EX90, but that was ranked lower than the B10, which shows how things have changed on the automotive safety front and just how car Chinese carmakers have come."
"The B10 is followed in the recent test by the gas-powered Mercedes-Benz CLE and another Chinese car, the Hongqi EHS7, a large midsize electric crossover that's almost the size of a BMW iX. Next comes the EX90, followed by the BYD Seal 6, and the revised Tesla Model Y. Out of the 23 cars that were recently tested, four were Chinese and all got the maximum safety rating."
