China’s Shining Star - Qoros gets Maximum Safety Rating

Euro NCAP
September 25, 2013


Brussels, 25 September 2013 - Euro NCAP is releasing today the results of the Qoros 3 Sedan and the new Kia Carens.

The small MPV Kia Carens met all requirements to achieve the maximum five star rating. The Qoros 3 Sedan also reached the five star overall rating, a first in Euro NCAP’s programme for a car developed in China. The small family car showed good overall protection with high scores in all four areas of assessment and is a significant step up from previous Chinese exports tested by Euro NCAP.

Michiel van Ratingen, Euro NCAP Secretary General says: 'It is pleasing to see that a new manufacturer like Qoros should place a high emphasis on safety and perform well in our tests. Manufacturers know that consumers are used to the highest levels of protection and that new cars will be scrutinised if they are put on sale in Europe.'



Details on the latest results and crash test videos can be found on the website. Stay tuned, more results will be published on 23 October.
