Results from the Latest batch of vehicles to be tested by Euro NCAP and its partners have been announced. Cars from Hyundai, Lexus, Mazda and Mercedes-Benz all achieved five-star Euro NCAP ratings for safety, with Peugeot, Citroen, and Vauxhall's five-door MPV taking home a four-star rating. In this group of five and four-star rated cars, the Hyundai NEXO was singled out for praise by experts. Matthew Avery, director of research, Thatcham Research commented,'The Hyundai NEXO is the first hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle that Euro NCAP has tested. Its five-star safety rating should dispel concerns around how hydrogen fuel cell powered cars perform in a crash. With the NEXO, Hyundai have successfully demonstrated that alternative fuelLed vehicles need not pose a risk to car safety.'
