NIO: Euro NCAP’s newly updated 2023 safety tests
Euro NCAP continues to be a catalyst for continuous safety improvements in passenger vehicles through its rating programme.
As mobility evolves through developments in technology and society, so do Euro NCAP’s rating requirements. In 2023, the safety testing protocol has been updated to include new systems in child presence detection, specifications for vehicle submergence as well as the latest technologies that detect – and respond – to motorcyclists and vulnerable road users.
To achieve Euro NCAP’s five-star rating in 2023, manufacturers must now meet the exacting targets of this updated test protocol.
Today, Euro NCAP announces that the first vehicles to achieve five stars are two cars from Chinese manufacturer NIO and new to the European market: the Large Family car ET5 and the Large SUV EL7.
