LEUVEN, BELGIUM – Today, Euro NCAP releases its annual Year in Numbers for 2024 – a review of the achievements and a full picture of the safety organisation’s work for the year.

In 2024, Euro NCAP's passenger car safety rating rules did not change and ratings for 53 cars were released, with 41 representing new car models and 12 additional partner or variant models. Despite the difficult market conditions, new market entrants swiftly adjusted to the new 5-star requirements and provided excellent levels of safety. Assisted Driving gradings for the latest highway assist systems were also released for five cars available on the market. These were tested in accordance with updated protocols that incorporate more challenging power-two-wheeler crash scenarios and stricter driver monitoring requirements.
