Toyota Verso is the only one to receive the latest Euro NCAP five star ratings

Euro NCAP has released the crash test results for five new cars - the Citroen Nemo, the Kia Venga, the Nissan Cube, the Seat Exeo and the Toyota Verso. And one car, the Toyota Verso, receives Euro NCAP’s maximum five star rating. New Euro NCAP rules and further demands in European legislation in 2010, means this year carmakers face even tougher challenges. Euro NCAP has raised the bar for carmakers to achieve five stars across three areas of safety protection. Performance thresholds for Adult Occupant Protection and Child Occupant Protection rise from 75% to 80% and from 70% to a 75% respectively. However, it is in Pedestrian Protection where the difference is felt the keenest increasing the minimum level required from 25% to 40%. The Toyota Verso is the only car to receive a maximum five star award in today’s results, with good scores achieved in all areas and a worthy 69% in pedestrian protection.
