Last year, it tested 33 new cars and awarded 22 of them the coveted five-star rating.

Among these, Euro NCAP has now chosen the safety winners in various classes - which for the first time included one for electric cars.

The Mercedes EQS won in two classes at once: Upper class and electric car, the Polestar 2 from the Chinese Geely Group (to which Volvo also belongs) follows in each case.
