Top ANCAP safety ratings for Kia EV9, Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV and BMW 5 Series

Geoff Dobson · 0 comments

The Kia EV9, Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV and BMW 5 Series have each achieved five-star Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) safety ratings.

“While 2023 has been a fairly lean year in terms of new ratings, the great news for new car buyers is that each of the 2023 ratings published to date are five-star ratings,” says ANCAP chief executive Carla Hoorweg.

“As we approach the end of the year, we are expecting to apply a few more ratings to models that have recently entered the market, so if you’re looking to buy a new car, keep an eye on the ANCAP website.”
