    How safe was the car you drove in the 1990s?
    Taking stock of the past 30 years of independent vehicle safety testing, ANCAP reflects on the vehicle models first rated when testing began in 1993.
    Commonplace on Australia's roads at the time were the Ford Falcon, Mitsubishi Magna, Holden Commodore and Mazda 626 – just to name a few.
    These, together with the Honda Accord, Subaru Liberty, Nissan Pintara, Toyota Camry and Volvo 940 all featured in the first round of safety ratings released in 1993, in an effort to inform consumers about the safety features, or lack of, that were fitted to their everyday drives.

    ANCAP awards five-star safety rating to Mercedes-Benz EQS
    ANCAP SAFETY, Australasia's independent voice on vehicle safety, has today released a five-star safety rating for the battery electric Mercedes-Benz EQS saloon (sedan). The EQS showed high levels of protection to vehicle occupants and good collision avoidance capability when tested against ANCAP's 2020-2022 assessment criteria.
    Full points were awarded to the Mercedes-Benz EQS for adult occupant protection in both the side impact and oblique pole tests.  The driver and rear passenger in the full width frontal test also scored full points – making the EQS just the fourth vehicle to achieve this result under ANCAP's 2020-2022 test protocols. A high score in this test demonstrates a good combination of vehicle structure and restraint performance.

    Chery re-enters the Australian market with improved safety
    ANCAP SAFETY, Australia and New Zealand's independent voice on vehicle safety, has today released a five star safety rating for the Chery Omoda 5 – some 12 years after the last ANCAP safety rating for a Chery model was released.
    Elevating its safety offering well above that of its predecessors, and to more stringent test and rating criteria, the Chery Omoda 5 offers sound levels of structural and active safety protection. Previous offerings - the Chery J11 (2 stars) and Chery J1 (3 stars) - achieved ANCAP safety ratings well below the expected standard when rated back in 2011.
