ANCAP: 5-Star Safety For A-Class Hatch, 86 Coupe, Range Rover SUV

A new round of crash-safety testing from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) has seen top scores handed down to a trio of vastly different offerings. 

Buyers considering the small new Mercedes-Benz A-Class hatch, the big Range Rover SUV and the light-footed Toyota 86 coupe can now tick off '5-Star ANCAP safety rating' on their shopping lists. 

"It doesn't matter what type of car consumers are looking to buy. There's now a multitude of makes, models and car types which have achieved the maximum 5 star ANCAP safety rating," ANCAP Chairman, Mr Lauchlan McIntosh said.
