Renewed Euro NCAP Best Rating - 5 Stars for the all-electric MINI Cooper

The Euro NCAP tests aim to continuously increase the safety of vehicles. Both vehicle occupants and other road users should be exposed to an ever-decreasing risk of injury. The long-term goal: "Vision Zero" - zero road deaths in Europe. Accordingly, the requirements in the tests become stricter year by year. The criteria for the protection of pedestrians and cyclists have been tightened, and the test scenarios for both passive and active safety have been expanded. A top rating of 5 stars is not common in the segment of all-electric MINI Cooper models. New cars in this category often lose out due to price sensitivity - hence the top rating is rarely awarded. Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) ratings are a widely recognized benchmark for crash safety and are continuously updated. They provide a quick comparison of the safety features of a new car. The award of the top rating of 5 stars is exclusively given to new vehicles that have excellent crash protection and, moreover, a good equipment with comprehensive and practical technology for accident prevention.
