The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) has awarded its first 5-star safety rating to a Chinese vehicle.
The medium-sized MG GS has increased its ANCAP safety rating from 4 stars to 5 stars following a specification upgrade and strong performance in the pole test.
“We initially assessed this model earlier this year and saw that while structurally it offered sound levels of occupant protection, its safety specification did not meet what is now expected as a minimum for a 5 star car,” said ANCAP Chief Executive Officer, James Goodwin. “MG must be commended for upgrading this model and this achievement raises the bar for other similar brands entering the very competitive Australian new vehicle fleet.”
The 5-star ANCAP safety rating applies to all MG GS models built from August 2017 and on sale from October 2017.
