These 10 Models Should Be on Your Radar"},"content":{"rendered":"

We spend hours comparing fuel economy figures, boot space and infotainment screens, yet the thing we hope we’ll never need is often the most important.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thankfully, buying a safe car in 2025 isn’t difficult. The standard of protection has improved massively over the last decade and many modern vehicles can now intervene before a driver has even realised there’s a problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some cars, however, go a step further.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it’s exceptional cash-test performance, clever driver assistance systems or simply a design that inspires confidence, these are ten cars currently available in the UK that deserve a closer look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before buying a used car, consider running a free <\/span>vehicle check with Car Checker<\/span><\/a> to view safety ratings and other important vehicle details.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mercedes-Benz E-Class<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are newer, flashier executive cars on the market, but the E-Class remains one of the benchmarks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Part of that comes down to how solid it feels. Even after a short drive, there’s a sense that everything has been engineered with care. Mercedes has loaded it with safety technology, but what stands out is how discreetly it operates. Nothing feels gimmicky or distracting.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a car that quietly gets on with looking after its occupants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Skoda Superb<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Superb has never been the sort of car that people pin to their bedroom wall.<\/span><\/p>\n

What it does brilliantly is make everyday life easier. It’s enormous inside, comfortable over long distances and packed with useful safety equipment. If you’ve got children, dogs, luggage or all three, you’ll appreciate what Skoda has done here.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are more exciting cars available, but few make as much sense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Audi Q6 e-tron<\/b><\/h2>\n

Audi’s Q6 e-tron arrives at a time when buyers are being flooded with electric SUV choices.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason this one stands out is that it feels complete. Some electric cars still feel like first attempts. The Audi doesn’t. Everything from the driving position to the safety systems feels properly resolved.<\/span><\/p>\n

That level of polish goes a long way towards making a car feel safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mazda CX-80<\/b><\/h2>\n

Mazda rarely shouts louder than its rivals, which might explain why some buyers overlook it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CX-80 deserves better. It’s spacious, comfortable and packed with technology aimed at preventing accidents before they happen. More importantly, it doesn’t overwhelm the driver with constant warnings and alerts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes the best safety systems are the ones you barely notice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Porsche Macan Electric<\/b><\/h2>\n

A Porsche on a list of safe cars might seem slightly odd.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet anyone who has driven a modern Porsche will understand why it’s here. The Macan Electric feels incredibly stable and predictable, which are qualities that matter just as much as airbags and crash structures.<\/span><\/p>\n

A car that communicates clearly with its driver is often a safer car.<\/span><\/p>\n

Audi A6 e-tron<\/b><\/h2>\n

The A6 e-tron is unlikely to be the loudest or most controversial new electric car this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s probably a good thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Audi has focused on making it comfortable, refined and reassuring. The result is a car that feels equally at home tackling motorway miles or navigating busy city streets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cupra Tavascan<\/b><\/h2>\n

Cupra has built its reputation by doing things slightly differently.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tavascan certainly looks the part, but underneath the dramatic styling is a vehicle that takes safety seriously. It performed strongly in independent testing and comes equipped with the technology buyers increasingly expect in a modern family SUV.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toyota C-HR<\/b><\/h2>\n

The latest C-HR is proof that sensible cars don’t have to be boring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toyota has managed to build something distinctive while retaining the dependability and safety credentials that made the brand successful in the first place. It’s particularly well suited to drivers who want a car that simply gets on with the job.<\/span><\/p>\n

MG HS<\/b><\/h2>\n

A few years ago, MG probably wouldn’t have featured in a list like this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Things have changed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The HS offers a surprising amount of safety equipment for the money and continues to attract buyers looking for value without compromising on the essentials. It may not carry the prestige of some rivals, but that doesn’t make it any less worthy of consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Volvo EX30<\/b><\/h2>\n

You knew there would be a Volvo somewhere on this list.<\/span><\/p>\n

The interesting thing about the <\/span>EX30<\/span><\/a> is that Volvo has managed to shrink its traditional safety-first philosophy into a much smaller package. It feels modern, practical and reassuringly well thought out.<\/span><\/p>\n

That should come as no surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Final Word<\/b><\/h2>\n

No car can eliminate risk entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n

What the best cars can do is reduce it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every model here offers strong protection in the event of a crash, but perhaps more importantly, they include technology designed to help prevent accidents from happening at all. That’s where modern vehicle safety is heading.<\/span><\/p>\n

If safety is high on your priority list, any of these cars would be a sensible place to start your search.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
