Euro NCAP test results

Euro NCAP recently released the results of the test on 12 of Europe’s best-selling cars. These were for cars in the following categories: Supermini, Small Family, Large Family, Small Off-Roader, Pick up and Large MPV.

Apparently this is the last time the present rating system will be used. The new rating system will be launched in February 2009.

The cars which received the top score of five stars for adult occupant protection were the Alfa Romeo Mito, Ford Fiesta, Peugeot 308CC, Volkswagen Golf VI, Renault Megane, Honda Accord, Opel Insignia and the Volvo XC60.

However, some of the cars didn't do as well for child occupant or pedestrian protection.
