The new Audi Q5, Land Rover Discovery and Toyota C-HR all receiving a five-star safety rating in the latest Euro NCAP testing session.

The German and Japanese SUVs showed a good all-round performance in all areas of the assessment and qualify for a 5-star safety rating. The new Discovery also drives away with five stars, despite having the driver’s door unlatched and driver’s airbag showing insufficient pressure, in the side barrier test.

During the same testing session, the new generation Citroen C3 just missed a top five-star rating, and scored four stars. Adult and child occupant protection was great but, the C3’s pedestrian protection was a little lacking, because parts of the windshield were noted as being poor.

The newly launched Ford Ka+ and the facelifted Fiat 500 both scored only 3 stars.
