2025 Tesla Model 3: Euro NCAP 5-Star Safety Champion
LienMay 23, 2025, 10:36 AM
【PCauto】Recently, the 2025 Tesla Model 3 achieved a five-star safety rating in the latest crash tests conducted by the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP), reaffirming Tesla's leading position in vehicle safety.
In the four key tests of adult protection, child protection, pedestrian protection, and intelligent assistance systems, the Model 3 scored highly, especially in active safety technology, where it scored as high as 87%, significantly outperforming mainstream competitors. This demonstrates the clear advantages of its automatic emergency braking (AEB), lane-keeping assist, and other systems in terms of recognition accuracy and response speed.
The 2025 Tesla Model 3 demonstrated outstanding performance in the latest Euro NCAP tests, with the following specific scores:
Adult Occupant Protection: 90% — Optimized body structure with minimal cabin deformation during collisions;
Child Occupant Protection: 93% — Enhanced ISOFIX child seat anchors and improved side-impact protection;
Pedestrian Protection: 89% — Benefiting from automatic emergency braking (AEB) and front-impact energy absorption design;
Safety Assist Systems: 87% — Equipped with an upgraded Autopilot system featuring more precise lane-keeping and emergency braking capabilities.
With the rapid expansion of the electric vehicle market, Euro NCAP has been continuously raising its safety requirements for high-voltage battery systems in recent years. The 2025 Model 3 showed excellent performance in the side pole impact test ( for the battery pack), effectively avoiding fire risks caused by collisions. This achievement is attributed to Tesla's next-generation structural battery pack design, which offers superior impact resistance compared to traditional battery layouts.
According to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), electric vehicles accounted for 25% of the European market share in 2024. Meanwhile, stringent EU 2025 regulations will require all new vehicles to come standard with automatic emergency braking (AEB) and driver fatigue monitoring systems. The high scores achieved by the Tesla Model 3 mean it already complies with these future regulatory requirements in advance.
Although Tesla continues to lead in intelligent safety technology, traditional luxury brands such as Volvo EX90 and Mercedes-Benz EQE are also making full investments in the development of next-generation pure electric platforms, which has achieved high scores in crash tests.
Although Tesla has consistently maintained excellent performance in crash tests, its sales in several European countries experienced a sharp decline in early 2025 due to Elon Musk's public support for far-right European political parties (such as Germany's AfD) and the Trump administration. In January, Tesla's sales dropped by 59% in Germany, 63% in France, and 40%-60% in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and other countries.
Musk has since stepped back from political activities. With Tesla's excellent product quality and the introduction of new technologies, it is believed that the company's sales will recover.

2026 Toyota Hilux Travo released, the brand-new exterior and interior are highly anticipated
If you're considering buying a Hilux, honestly, the comprehensive innovations in the ninth generation are worth waiting for. While the current model might still have some advantages in terms of reliability and price, the new model offers significant changes in terms of exterior and interior luxury, tech features, and powertrain options.
Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Which one is better, Honda City or Toyota Vios?
When choosing a compact sedan, Honda City and Toyota Vios are often two options that make people weigh repeatedly. You might be attracted to the dynamic design of the Vios but also be captivated by the City.
Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
