AMMAN — Kia EV6 electric crossover was awarded the highest safety rating in the latest Euro NCAP crash tests, the company said in a statement.

The statement released in the UAE said results included 90 percent for adult occupant protection, 86 percent for child occupant protection, 64 percent for vulnerable road users including pedestrians.

Other safety features included 87 percent in the “safety assist” category, which rates a vehicle based on the availability of a comprehensive suite of crash avoidance technologies, the statement added.

The EV6’s Multi-Collision Braking system was also highlighted by EuroNCAP. The system automatically applies the brakes after an impact to avoid secondary collisions, and an eCall system that alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash.

Electronic Stability Control, Vehicle Stability Management and seven advanced airbags as standard were displayed and tested.

Euro NCAP is Europe’s leading independent safety testing organization.
