Select one or more vehicles among the following possibilities. Make Model Submit OR Class Submit OR ALL RESULTS & REWARDS Each year, Euro NCAP publishes a list of those cars that have performed best in their respective categories. Star ratings cannot be compared directly between different categories of vehicles, so a ‘Best in Class’ is published showing which vehicles have performed better than their competitors. As the requirements for each star rating become tougher each year, the ‘Best in Class’ comparison is made only within each calendar year so that all vehicles are assessed against the same standards. To define the Best in Class, a calculation is made of the weighted sum of the scores in each of the four areas of assessment: Adult Occupant, Child Occupant, Pedestrian and Safety Assist. This sum is used as the basis for comparison of the vehicles. On this page you will find top performer in each category, as measured by the weighted sum of scores. Some categories may not be represented as Euro NCAP has tested too few cars of that class in that year.
