A new benchmark in terms of safety: The Mercedes‑Benz E‑Class has been awarded the overall safety title “Best Performer” in 2024 by Euro NCAP, making it the safest car tested last year.
To define the ‘Best in Class’, Euro NCAP experts calculate a weighted average of four areas of active and passive safety: Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Vulnerable Road User Protection, and Safety Assist Technologies. The E‑Class achieved standout scores across all these safety categories.
“Mercedes-Benz is synonymous for safety. We set the standard as true pioneer in vehicle safety. I am proud that Euro NCAP’s ‘Best Performer’ award recognises our efforts to increase safety for all road users.”
Markus Schäfer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes‑Benz Group AG. Chief Technology Officer, Development & Procurement.
Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) is an organisation made up of European transport ministries, automobile clubs and insurance associations. The organisation conducts crash tests and other safety evaluations.
Being awarded by an independent organization such as Euro NCAP confirms the very high performance level of the safety systems of Mercedes‑Benz. These latest top results once again confirm the company’s competences in the development of driver assistance and safety systems.
