Judges assesses models on criteria such as active and passive safety technology innovation, vulnerable road user protection and the on-road driving performance of advanced driver assistance systems.

Meanwhile, its 95% adult occupant protection score was also the highest of any car that featured in the Safety Award shortlist.
A statement said: “The ID.7 provides technology to encourage safer driving and performed well across Euro NCAP’s increasingly challenging testing, from passive crash protection to active crash prevention. It is the combination of all these systems within the ID.7 that makes it stand out as the 2024 Safety Award winner.”
