LEUVEN, BELGIUM – Choosing a new car and comparing its environmental impact with other models can be a challenge for car buyers, but with the right steps and metrics, you can make more informed, sustainable decisions. Green NCAP simplifies the process, as it announces the ‘greenest’ cars tested since launching its new sustainability ratings and driver experience assessment last September.

Five models topped their respective categories in 2025. They are the Dacia Spring, FIAT 600e, CUPRA Born, BYD SEALION 7, and SEAT Ibiza, which respectively cover small electric city cars, electric family models, both small and large electric SUVs, and petrol-powered hatchbacks.

In addition, Green NCAP commends three cars that stand out for their performance in its unique, user-focused evaluation designed to reflect the everyday concerns that drivers have, especially in relation to electric cars. These are: Consumption & Range, Cold Winter Performance, and Charging Capability.
