Last year, the European organization Euro NCAP conducted significantly more crash tests than the year before. In the December session alone, experts crashed 15 cars, whereas in all of 2016 only 18 models were tested. In total, about 70 cars underwent crash tests last year.
Three representatives of the Volkswagen brand made it into the list of the six safest cars of the year: the new Polo hatchback (Supermini category), the compact crossover T-Roc (Small Off-Road class), and the flagship liftback Arteon (Executive segment).
In the Big Off-Road category, the Volvo XC60 crossover won. Among compact vans (Small MPV), the Opel Crossland X was recognized as the best. And in the Small Family Car category, two Subaru models — Impreza and XV — shared the laurels.
