The stars align for Mazda MX-30 and Honda Jazz
Euro NCAP publishes its third round of results today, putting two small family cars to the test: the new #hondajazz and Mazda's first all-electric vehicle, the MX-30. Both sign off with a complete set of stars.
The #hondajazz, first sold in Europe in 2002, now exclusively comes with a hybrid engine. Along with its modern drivetrain technology, the latest model is also equipped with the most up-to-date #safety equipment, including autonomous emergency braking and an all-new centre-mounted airbag that protects driver and front passenger against injuries in far-side crashes. With 5 stars under its belt, the new #hondajazz makes a worthy rival to the Toyota Yaris, tested earlier this year.
Mazda joins the growing list of debutant EVs with its new electric MX-30. Naturally, the CX-30 based MX-30 is heavier than its combustion-engined sister, but still delivers an impressive 91 percent for adult occupant protection, thanks to its compatible front-end structure and new far-side restraints. However, the MX-30 disappoints on its vulnerable road users' collision avoidance capabilities, showing mediocre test performance and lacking more advanced functionalities, such as turn-across-path intervention.
Euro NCAP's Secretary-General, Michiel van Ratingen, says "Both Honda and Mazda are to be congratulated for their commitment to #safety and for achieving five-star ratings for their cars. The ratings released to date demonstrate that Euro NCAP's new 2020 protocols are having a tangible impact on the #safety equipment and crash performance of car models in Europe, including the latest electrified vehicles. Industry's response to consumer ratings remains one the most important drivers for vehicle #safety innovation, to the benefit of all road users in Europe."
Euro NCAP also publishes a 2019 rating for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé, which is based on the 1 Series tested last year. The Mercedes-Benz EQV, an all-electric version of the V-Class, shares that vehicle's 2014 star rating.
