Euro NCAP grants the Polestar 4 a top-tier safety ranking of 5 stars
The Polestar 4 has secured a prestigious 5-star safety rating from the European New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), making it one of the safest electric SUVs on the market. In a recent batch of testing, the Polestar 4 outperformed the Lynk & Co 02, OMODA 9, ZEEKR 7x, and MG P9 EV.
The Polestar 4's safety performance was assessed across four broad categories: Adult Occupant Testing, Child Occupant Testing, Vulnerable Road Users Testing, and Safety Assist Systems Testing.
In Adult Occupant Testing, the Polestar 4 achieved an impressive 92%, with maximum points in side barrier and side pole impact tests. The vehicle also excelled in Child Occupant Testing, earning an 85% rating, thanks to maximum points in the frontal offset and side barrier tests.
The Polestar 4's commitment to safety doesn't stop there. It also scored 81% in Vulnerable Road Users Testing and 79% in Safety Assist Systems Testing, demonstrating its dedication to protecting all road users.
This strong performance in both passive (crash protection) and active safety (driver assist technologies such as autonomous emergency braking, lane assist, child presence detection, and cyclist dooring prevention) sets the Polestar 4 apart. It's not just about crashworthiness; it's about preventing crashes from happening in the first place.
In comparison to the ZEEKR 7X, which also scored a 5-star rating, the Polestar 4 edged ahead particularly in adult occupant protection, scoring a perfect 100% in side impacts, showcasing exceptional safety in critical crash scenarios.
The Polestar 4 is the third vehicle from the brand to receive a 5-star rating from the European NCAP, following the Polestar 2, which was awarded its rating in 2021. The Polestar 3 also received its 5-star rating earlier this year.
The NCAP evaluates vehicles based on crash protection, crash avoidance technology, and safety assist systems. Vehicles receiving a five-star rating demonstrate excellent performance in crash protection and are well-equipped with state-of-the-art crash avoidance technology.
In summary, the Polestar 4 has proven itself to be a leader in safety, combining exceptional crashworthiness with advanced safety assist systems. This makes it an attractive option for those seeking a safe and technologically advanced electric SUV.
The Polestar 4's impressive safety features extend beyond crashworthiness, as it is equipped with cutting-edge technology and safety assist systems, making it an ideal choice for tech-savvy individuals seeking a technologically advanced electric SUV. Moreover, the Polestar 4's lifestyle appeal is further enhanced by its integration of gadgets and modern technology, ensuring a seamless blend of safety and convenience in everyday driving.
