NIO ET7 Scores Five-Star Rating in Euro NCAP Safety and Green NCAP Tests

The ET7, the flagship sedan from global electric smart vehicle company NIO, secured a maximum five-star rating in the latest Euro NCAP safety tests. Now available in Europe, ET7 scored 91% in the Adult Occupant category, 87% for Child Occupant category, 73% for Vulnerable Road Users and 95% for Safety Assist, NIO’s highest score to date for the latter.

The ET7 also secured a further five-star rating in the latest Green NCAP results, the highest possible score under the latest sustainable rating scheme. The high-performance flagship sedan was awarded near maximum marks for energy efficiency, emissions, and low energy consumption.

“With all active and safety features as standard, NIO’s ET7 was designed from the outset to offer its users, wherever they are in the world, the highest levels of safety,” says Danilo Teobaldi, VP of Vehicle Engineering, NIO. “Providing users with peace of mind is crucial for the user experience. From the outset, we wanted to go beyond achieving test results and through our R&D find solutions to go further. If it improves safety, it is worth doing.”

Crucial to the five-star rating in NCAP’s most stringent safety tests was the use of innovative material applications and high-strength structural materials. ET7 is amongst the first cars in the world to use a significant element of hot-stamping steel, enabling the ultra-high strength material to be formed into complex shapes.

Alongside the impressive safety score, NIO ET7 achieved near maximum scores for energy efficiency, emissions and energy consumption in the latest Green NCAP tests. Green NCAP is an independent initiative that promotes the development of cars that are clean, energy efficient and not harmful to the environment. Based on the new toughened rating announced in June 2022, the NIO ET7 was commended for its high overall efficiency, absence of polluting exhaust gas emissions and relatively low greenhouse gas emissions – giving it a weighted overall index of 9.6 out of 10 and a maximum five stars.

By category, the NIO ET7 scored 10/10 in the Clean Air Index, 9.6 out of 10 in the Greenhouse Gas Index (GHG) and 9.4 out of 10 in the Energy Efficiency Index. In the laboratory WLTC+ test, the ET7 matched its declared range.
