Chinese automakers are earning attention across international markets, and vehicle safety is one area where their progress can be measured through independent crash testing. Euro NCAP, the European New Car Assessment Programme, evaluates how well vehicles protect occupants, safeguard children, and help prevent collisions. A five-star rating represents strong performance against the assessment criteria applicable to the tested model year.
Seven Chinese-brand vehicles have received this top safety rating, including the Leapmotor B10, Deepal S07, BYD Seal 6, MG HS, MG5 EV, Leapmotor C10, and XPeng G6. According to the supplied results, their adult occupant protection scores range from 88% to 95%.
These figures offer a useful starting point for comparing their safety performance, but buyers should also examine child occupant protection, vulnerable road user protection, driver-assistance systems, pricing, and available equipment.
1. Leapmotor B10 (2025)
The 2025 Leapmotor B10 earned a five-star Euro NCAP rating, recording 93% for adult occupant protection. That result places the compact SUV among the Chinese-brand vehicles recognized for strong crash-test performance in the supplied results.
Adult occupant protection measures how well a vehicle protects people inside the cabin during different crash scenarios. Euro NCAP assesses several areas, including frontal impacts, side impacts, and the effectiveness of restraint systems.
The resulting percentage offers a useful indication of performance in the tests, but it does not mean that occupants have a 93% chance of surviving a crash.
The B10’s five-star rating gives prospective buyers an independent safety reference when comparing electric SUVs. Its result may appeal to households seeking a modern vehicle with a strong tested record, particularly those comparing newer entrants with established competitors.
Still, a star rating should not be the only consideration. Euro NCAP assesses several separate categories, including child occupant protection, protection for vulnerable road users, and safety assistance technology.
Adult occupant protection alone does not reveal the B10’s complete performance across those categories. Buyers should also verify the equipment fitted to the exact version sold in their market.
Safety features may vary by trim level and market, with some systems available in certain countries but not others. The 2025 test result is the relevant reference for that model year, while newer versions should be evaluated using their own published safety assessments.
With its 93% adult occupant score and five-star result, the Leapmotor B10 has a strong position among the vehicles covered here.
2. Deepal S07 (2024)
A 95% adult occupant protection score makes the 2024 Deepal S07 one of the highest-scoring vehicles on this list in that category. The SUV also earned five stars from Euro NCAP, giving buyers a clear reference when evaluating its tested crash protection.
The adult occupant percentage reflects performance across the relevant crash tests rather than a single impact. Euro NCAP considers how the passenger compartment manages crash forces and how effectively restraints help protect the driver and passengers.
Strong performance in this category is encouraging, although the percentage should not be mistaken for a direct prediction of what would happen in every real collision.
The Deepal S07 is an SUV from the Deepal brand, associated with Chinese automaker Changan. Its safety result gives the model an independent credential in a segment where buyers often compare cabin space, technology, driving range, comfort, and purchase cost alongside crash protection.
What should a buyer take from the 95% figure? It indicates that the tested vehicle performed strongly under Euro NCAP’s adult occupant assessment.
It does not establish that the S07 is the safest vehicle in every situation, nor does it tell the whole story about pedestrian protection or crash avoidance.
For a complete assessment, prospective owners should review the official report’s individual category scores and examine which driver-assistance features are standard. The precise specification matters because equipment may differ between markets.
The S07’s five-star rating and 95% adult occupant result make it one of the strongest adult-protection performers among these seven vehicles, based on the supplied figures.
3. BYD Seal 6 (2025)
BYD is among the world’s biggest electric vehicle makers, so a five-star result for the Seal 6 isn’t a shock, but the numbers are still worth a look. The Seal 6 earned five stars with a 92% adult occupant score.
Euro NCAP’s published scorecard also reports 90% for child occupant protection, 84% for vulnerable road users, and 85% for safety assist. These results show relatively consistent performance across the three categories, with no major gap between the scores.
Balance matters. A car that scores 92% for adults but 60% for pedestrians tells a different story from one that scores in the 80s or 90s across the board.
The Seal 6 appeared in the same round of testing as the Leapmotor B10, which scored 93% for adults, so the two cars sit within a point of each other. One report described the group as showing Chinese brands posting strong scores as they push into Europe.
If you’re shopping, remember that star ratings apply to the tested configuration. Ask the dealer which safety features are standard, and look up the full Euro NCAP report.
4. MG HS (2024)
MG may be a British name, but the brand is owned by China’s SAIC Motor, which is why the HS appears on this list. According to the supplied results, the MG HS earned five stars in 2024 with a 90% adult occupant score.
The supplied data doesn’t give the child occupant, pedestrian, or safety assist scores for the HS, so we can’t describe its full scorecard. That’s a good example of why you should read the original Euro NCAP report instead of relying on a single headline number.
What can we say? A 90% adult occupant score is strong, only slightly below the top figures on this list. It also shows that a longer-established name among Chinese-owned cars can hold its own against newer brands.
The HS is a compact SUV that may appeal to families. If you are considering it for family use, focus on three key factors, including its child occupant protection score, the standard safety features included with your chosen trim, and its performance in the safety tests most relevant to your driving needs.
One final point to keep in mind is that Euro NCAP periodically updates its testing protocols. With revised tests planned for 2026, newer vehicles may be assessed against stricter safety requirements, making direct comparisons with older ratings less straightforward.
5. MG5 EV (2025)
The 2025 MG5 EV achieved a five-star Euro NCAP rating and a 90% adult occupant protection score, according to the supplied results. Its inclusion shows that a practical electric vehicle can earn strong recognition in an independent safety assessment.
The MG5 EV is an electric estate car, a body style that offers a long roofline and useful cargo capacity. That layout can appeal to drivers who want space for shopping, luggage, or everyday equipment without moving to a larger SUV.
For these buyers, the vehicle’s crash-test rating adds an important consideration to its practicality. A five-star rating means the tested model met Euro NCAP’s requirements for the highest award level under the rules applicable to its assessment.
It does not mean the vehicle is immune to injury or that all safety systems work equally well in every situation. The individual category results help explain where the vehicle performed well and where buyers may want more information.
The 90% adult occupant score is a useful measure, but it should be considered alongside child protection, pedestrian safety, and driver-assistance performance.
Electric vehicles also deserve the same careful evaluation of crash protection as gasoline or hybrid models. Their powertrain does not replace the need for strong passenger protection and effective restraint systems.
Shoppers should confirm the tested model year and specification, especially if comparing vehicles sold in different countries. Standard and optional equipment can vary, and the exact version matters when applying crash-test results to a purchase.
The MG5 EV’s five-star rating and 90% adult occupant score make it a worthwhile candidate for buyers who value cargo flexibility and independently assessed safety.
6. Leapmotor C10 (2024)
Two Leapmotor models made this list, and the C10 is the older sibling. The Leapmotor C10, tested in 2024, earned five stars with an 89% adult occupant score. Coverage of the December 2024 results lists its child occupant protection at 85%.
How does it compare with the B10? The B10 scored 93% for adults and 93% for children, so the newer car is ahead by 4 points for adults and 8 for children.
That suggests the brand’s safety results improved from one model to the next, though the two cars are different sizes and designs.
The C10 is a mid-size crossover, and it was part of a group of four Chinese cars to earn five stars in the same round, along with the Deepal S07, the Maxus eTerron 9, and the Volvo EX30.
That last one appears because it carries Geely technology, which shows how interconnected the industry has become. For buyers, the lesson is to check the test date and the model year.
A 2024 result and a 2025 result can differ, and newer protocols may change what counts as a top score.
7. XPeng G6 (2024)
We finish with the XPeng G6, which earned five stars in 2024 with an 88% adult occupant score, the lowest on this list. Lowest here still means a strong result. The supplied data doesn’t give the other category scores for the G6.
XPeng is known for electric cars with advanced driver-assist technology, though the supplied data doesn’t describe the G6’s features.
Let’s step back. The seven adult occupant scores range from 95% down to 88%, a spread of just seven points. Your list also isn’t ranked strictly by that score, so don’t read the order as a ranking of safety.
What does this all mean? Chinese brands now earn five stars in Europe’s toughest independent test. That’s good news for shoppers. But stars aren’t the end of the story.
Look at each category score, check the tested version, and remember that Euro NCAP’s tests change, with updated protocols coming in 2026.
If safety is your top priority, read the full report for any car you consider, compare rivals, and test drive. The best result is the one that fits your family.
