Five star NCAP rating for Volkswagen ID.3

Euro NCAP has published its safety rating for Volkswagen’s electric ID.3, giving a full five stars.

The ID.3 is the first car in Volkswagen's ID family, with other models expected in the coming years.

The car has robust structural integrity and the latest in restraint technology are combined with high-tech sensors to offer excellent all-round protection for the car’s occupants and for other road-users. Crash avoidance systems like AEB are standard, and post-crash safety is covered by a braking Multi-Collision Brake, a system that applies the brakes after a collision to prevent further impacts, and by an advanced e-Call system.

Euro NCAP’s Secretary General, Michiel van Ratingen, said, “The ID.3 represents the direction of travel for the car industry in recent years. The climate crisis means that we all must adapt to a cleaner future and electric cars will become the norm in the years to come. Euro NCAP will continue to ensure that saving the planet does not come at the cost of safety and I am glad to see that the ID.3 – the latest generation of the people’s car – does not compromise in this regard.”
