Safe and sound driving
If you’re in the market for a new car, there’s a lot to consider. Just how much are you willing to spend, for instance? What colour would look the coolest? And is a sunroof a must-have, or air conditioning?
But of course, there are some questions that are even more important – like just how safe your car is. The good news is, we’ve done a lot of the hard work for you – testing a range of popular Australian vehicles to see how well they rate.
We looked at three main criteria in coming up with the results – Electronic Stability Control (ESC) as standard or optional, 5 star crash test rating, and an effective head restraint. And you can check out the results for yourself by choosing a class below.
