    According to the Department for Transport, there were 195,723 road casualties on British roads in 2012 – 1,754 people lost their lives in these accidents. The outcomes of these incidents depend on the safety credentials of the vehicles involved in some part. As a result, we have below compiled a list of five of the safest cars on the market today. If you were to be involved in a collision, you’d want to be sat in one of these.


    Volvo V40
    This vehicle was deemed the safest small family car in Euro NCAP’s Best in Class Cars of 2012, receiving a five-star safety rating. Crash test results showed a safety score of 98 per cent for adult passengers and 75 per cent for children. It is equipped with the Volvo City Safety autonomous emergency braking system, which received a Euro NCAP Advanced Reward in 2010. The technology can automatically apply the brakes if there is a threat of collision at speeds between 2.2 and 18.6 mph.

    Audi A3
    The Audi A3 boasts three-point inertia reel seat belts, airbags which adapt to the situation for optimal deployment and Pre Sense technology that prepares the vehicle for collision once it senses impending impact. All this resulted in an exceptional crash test performance.

    Ford Kuga
    This SUV received a 100 per cent score from Euro NCAP for its safety assist features, which include Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition technology and Hill Start Assist. The Driver Alert system, which identifies motorist fatigue through analysis of driving style and suggests a break, won an Advanced Reward.

    Hyundai i30
    This vehicle is packed with some of the top safety features on the market. The children’s safety score was 90 per cent, with partial thanks likely to the rear ISOfix child seat anchorage points, rear seat seatbelt reminders and childproof rear door locks.

    BMW 3 Series
    Euro NCAP gave this luxury vehicle 95 per cent, 84 per cent and 78 per cent safety scores for adult passengers, child occupants and pedestrians respectively, making it one of the most impressive crash test performers. The saloon, which was voted What Car? Best Executive Car for the eighth time in 2013, has impressive safety features such as the lane change warning system, which notifies drivers of a vehicle in their blind spot when pulling out.


    Tesla Model S
    The right-hand drive version of this car is due to be released in the UK soon, and it is sure to be a favourite among families prioritising safety and environmentally-conscious drivers alike. That’s because the zero-emissions car was deemed the safest vehicle ever tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
