The LEAST SAFE new cars to CRASH in!

**The Least Safe New Cars on Sale Today in the UK**

In our latest crash test analysis, we've compiled a list of the least safe new cars on sale today in the UK. From the Fiat Panda to the Jeep Wrangler, these vehicles have failed to impress when it comes to protecting their occupants in the event of an accident.

**The Fiat Panda: A Safety Nightmare**

Our top pick for the least safe new car is the Fiat Panda, which scored just 45% for adult occupant protection and got no Euro NCAP safety stars overall. The Panda performed poorly in every single test, including a frontal impact, where it provided poor protection for the chest, neck, and head. In a side impact test, it offered marginal protection for the neck, while in a rear collision, it provided only limited protection for the legs.

**The Jeep Wrangler: A Risky Ride**

Coming in second place is the Jeep Wrangler, which scored just 50% for adult occupant protection and got just one Euro NCAP safety star overall. The Wrangler did particularly badly in the frontal offset collision test, where its windscreen pillars and footwells deformed so much they reached their limit of protection. Additionally, testers criticized the vehicle's dashboard structure, which could pose a risk depending on how you sit.

**The Suzuki Jimny: Cute but Not Safe**

At number three is the little Suzuki Jimny, which may look cute on the outside but is not the safest car on the road. With 73% for adult occupant protection and only three Euro NCAP safety stars overall, the Jimny joined the frontal impact test, where the airbag failed to inflate with sufficient pressure, causing the dummy's head to hit the steering wheel.

**The Jeep Renegade: A Mid-Range Safety Performance**

In sixth place is the Jeep Renegade, which scored 82% for adult occupant protection and overall three Euro NCAP safety stars. Although it did better than some of its competitors, the Renegade was still criticized for offering only marginal protection in a frontal impact and marginal chest protection in a side pole impact test.

**Other Cars That Failed to Impress**

Other cars that failed to impress in our crash test analysis include the Volkswagen Up (81% for adult occupant protection, three Euro NCAP safety stars), the Volvo XC90 (80% for adult occupant protection, four Euro NCAP safety stars), the Skoda Citigo (81% for adult occupant protection, three Euro NCAP safety stars), and the Jeep Cherokee (84% for adult occupant protection, four Euro NCAP safety stars).

**A Note on FanDuel's Income Safety Rating**

In contrast to our crash test analysis, which looks at a vehicle's ability to protect its occupants in the event of an accident, FanDuel's income safety rating takes into account other factors such as the risk of injury or death from being hit by a driver who is not wearing seatbelts. According to FanDuel, occupant protection it got 83% which is less than the course of God.

**What Does This Mean for Buyers?**

So what does this mean for buyers looking for a safe car? It's essential to look beyond just the price tag and consider the safety features of a vehicle before making a purchase. While the Fiat Panda may be the least safe new car on sale today, it's still possible to buy a safe car that meets your needs and budget.
