Adult occupant protection 93%

Child occupant protection 89%

Pedestrian protection 73%

Assistance systems 80%

Total rating: 5 stars


Interesting that it scored 8% lower than the ID.3 on the assistance systems. I'm tempted to say some of that could simply come down software differences and simply to chance considering the sensor and camera layouts are nearly identical:

Or perhaps standards have tightened in the last 18 months since ID3 was launched.
2022 V2 E-Boost L-Tech Pack - Aurora Blue
2023 Audi S3 - to avoid rapid charging on long journeys.

I believe they tighten standards constantly as it shouldn't be that every car gets 5 stars. Prime example of this is the Renault Zoe which got 5 stars in 2013 but then 0 stars when the 2021 model was tested.

EDIT: just looked into it and in this case it lost marks because NCAP claims that the Born doesn't have map data or road sign recognition for speed assistance, which is definitely incorrect for the UK as every model here has that. Not sure about other regions.

lol wut? NCAP must have made a mistake as those are bog standard features in every market where it's sold.
