"The safest new vehicles in Australia are almost all electric, with the top
performers delivering consistently across the various areas of testing.
Electric cars are proving to be the safest vehicles in Australia, with
battery-powered models making up six of the seven strongest crash test
performers.
The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) revealed its list of safest
vehicles for 2025 on Thursday, in which Tesla’s revised Model Y claimed top
spot.
Only one fuel-powered vehicle made the list, the Toyota HiLux ute, which ranked
in last place.
Automotive experts say the results should help to quash misinformation about
the safety of electric vehicles and boost consumer confidence in low-emission
options."
