More considerations are being taken into account by purchasers these days when making a new car purchase. The most crucial aspects at the moment—regardless of price—are fuel economy, standard equipment, comfort, and safety. You can assess the latter for each vehicle by looking at safety ratings on websites like IIHS, NHTSA, ANCAP, and Euro NCAP.
Today, we'll provide a list of the 10 newest vehicles available on the market with the lowest Euro NCAP crash ratings. These vehicles are unquestionably not high-end, and the list includes vehicles that have been available since the beginning of 2018.
With only one safety score from Euro NCAP, the Dacia Jogger is one of the least secure vehicles you can find on the road in 2021. Although Dacia is typically known for producing safe vehicles for the entry-level market, the Jogger is not the safest option. The Sandero Stepway and Dacia Jogger are companion models, and they share a nearly identical structural design. When more testing was required, Euro NCAP evaluated the two cars to make sure the Jogger results could be applied to the Dacia Sandero Stepway results. The Dacia Jogger has a rating for adult occupants of 70%, but only has a rating for its safety support systems of 39%.
Despite being an entirely new and distinct vehicle, the Dacia Spring is frequently referred to as the Sandero's electric counterpart. The Spring is one of the better options if you're searching for an inexpensive electric car, but if safety is a concern, you must cross it off your list.
Another electric vehicle from the Renault-Dacia company. With zero safety stars, the Renault Zoe has a poorer safety rating than the preceding EV. Its safety aid systems are evaluated as poor%14 and only have a %43 rating for adult occupants.
Dacia Logan and Sandero Stepway are both affordable vehicles. They have dismal performance with only two safety stars despite having reasonable prices and great construction quality in their price range.
Suzuki Jimny is a popular cheap off-roader. Despite its affordable price tag, the Jimny has proven itself as a very capable car. Many people call the Jimny, the little G-Class and it has been a commercial success for the automaker since it was launched. Sadly, with three safety stars, Suzuki Jimny is not as capable in crash tests as it is in off-roading.
The latest generation of Fiat Panda has been around since 2011. Although in 2011 it could gain 4 safety stars from Euro NCAP, it couldn't get any stars when the new regulations were applied. Just like Suzuki Jimny, Fiat Panda is one of the cheapest 4WD cars but it cants guarantee your safety in case of a crash.
UP! is a city car, part of the Volkswagen Group. The Volkswagen Up! was given a 5-star overall rating for its safety performance under the Euro NCAP testing scheme in 2011, however when it was tested again in 2019 under the revised criteria, the VW Up! was only given 3 stars.
A supermini automobile based on the VW Up is the Skoda Citgo. It has a lower segment of seats than the Skoda Fabia. CITIGO has received only 3 safety stars from Euro NCAP, the same rating as the VW Up.
The Chinese company Aiways produces the all-electric, battery-powered Aiways U5 compact crossover SUV. Despite having a number of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) as standard, the Aiways U5 only achieved three safety stars from Euro NCAP.
In India, the Grand i10 Nios, the third-generation Hyundai i10 made its debut in 2019. Under the significantly stricter Euro NCAP 2020 protocol, the European Hyundai i10 received 3 stars in its regular European configuration. Only 52% of vulnerable road users were evaluated as being protected, whereas 59% were given to safety assistance systems.
