Euro NCAP crash and safety test of Chinese SUV.

Lynk & Co 01
The Lynk & Co is a brand that is new to Europe and the 01 takes advantage of its Geely family connection to share its underpinnings with the Volvo XC40. The results are impressive. The hybrid/plugin hybrid small SUV performs well allround but its 96 percent score for adult occupant protection, including a maximum score for side impact, stands out. That, and a full set of active safety features, help it secure its fivestar rating.

NIO ES8
Another Chinese SUV that is new to Europe is NIO’s ES8. On sale first in Norway, the allelectric 6/7 seater, gives a good account of itself, especially in the area of active safety. With excellent results for its autonomous emergency braking system and a full complement of other crashavoidance features the NIO gains a 92 percent score for Safety Assist.

Aiways U5
The allelectric Aiways U5, the first car from the Chinese startup to be launched on the European market and tested by Euro NCAP.  The slicklooking, futuristic SUV had problems in the side impact tests, losing all points for the side pole impact, and narrowly missed out on points for the pedestrian and cyclist functionality of its AEB system.  This has capped the rating at three stars for the moment.  Aiways has responded that they are already working on the weaknesses of the car and are hoping to resubmit the car for further evaluation in order to make the U5 one of the safest midsize SUVs available in 2021.

MG HS
With an impressive equipment list and good performance in Euro NCAP’s tests, the cars are a match for many European, Japanese or Korean models.
