The Automobile Association (AA) released its first annual ‘Entry Level Vehicle Safety Report’ in September last year, which detailed the safety features of 23 vehicles (available in SA) that retailed for R150,000 or less.
The objective of the report was to identify and assess the basic safety features present in the 23 vehicles, and which safety features were the most prominent. The report also sought to find the safest and most unsafe cars in South Africa, in relation to their retail pricing.
The 23 vehicles assessed were categorised into three groups (Acceptable, Moderate, and Poor Safety) based on their safety ratings. A baseline score to assess each vehicle was also developed according to international safety ratings and prices.
