The safest car of 2025 is not a Volvo or a Mercedes. It's the Tesla Model 3
The Tesla Model 3 has been recognized as the safest car of 2025 in Europe.
The Tesla Model 3 topped the Euro NCAP safety rating among new cars of 2025. The electric sedan scored 359 out of 400 points, leading among 20 tested models. For the protection of adult passengers, the Model 3 scored 90%, children — 93%, pedestrians — 89%, and for assisting systems — 87%.
Highly rated are the emergency braking system, speed control, the function of detecting a child inside the cabin, as well as protection during frontal and side collisions. Special attention was given to the hood with a lifting function to minimize pedestrian injuries and the ability to detect vulnerable road users during complex maneuvers.
Despite this, Euro NCAP warns against overestimating the capabilities of the Autopilot system. Even without using the full FSD package, which is not yet available in Europe, the Model 3 confidently maintains its lead in the category of safest cars of 2025.
