MG 5 gets safety test do-over after upgrade, scores much better rating
Safety authority ANCAP has re-tested the MG 5 following a series of updates to the small sedan, and this time it has received a three-star rating. When it was first tested in 2023, it received zero stars. That made it one of just three cars to receive a zero-star rating from the safety authority, along with the Mahindra Scorpio and defunct Mitsubishi Express. In its latest test, it received an adult occupant protection rating of 62 per cent, a child occupant protection rating of 68 per cent, a vulnerable road user protection rating of 65 per cent, and a safety assist rating of 59 per cent. These are up from 37 per cent, 58 per cent, 42 per cent, and 13 per cent, respectively. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now.

We've contacted MG Motor Australia for more details on pricing and availability. The MG 5 finally has front and rear outboard seatbelt pre-tensioners, and ANCAP conducted new frontal offset and full-width crash tests to assess their effectiveness in a crash. Additionally, ANCAP conducted whiplash and pedestrian impact tests, plus on-track collision avoidance performance tests, and combined these with the results of additional tests conducted in 2023. ANCAP observed "enhanced crash performance" in both the full-width and frontal offset tests, with improvements in driver head, chest and lower leg protection and front seat passenger chest protection in the latter test. In the full-width frontal test, the MG 5 received full points for driver neck and chest protection – up from a Marginal rating in ANCAP's last round of assessment. Rear passenger chest protection in the full-width test improved from Poor to Marginal, which ANCAP says reflects the benefit of seatbelt pre-tensioners and load limiters in managing the force of a crash. There were still some Weak ratings recorded for aspects like neck and chest protection of a 10-year-old child in the frontal offset test, however. While the MG 5 has always had standard autonomous emergency braking (AEB) but now it features pedestrian, cyclist and motorcycle detection. The MG 5 also gains lane-keep assist and emergency lane-keep assist. Also newly fitted: seatbelt reminders for all five seats. MG had been promising safety updates to the small sedan since December 2023, the same month it received its zero-star rating. "We commend MG for taking the opportunity to elevate the safety performance of the MG 5. This upgrade demonstrates important progress," said ANCAP CEO Carla Hoorweg. "While this rating is a step up, it's important that consumers and fleet operators recognise there are still safety limitations with this model, and that there are other vehicles on the market that offer more robust safety performance." ANCAP noted, for example, the absence of a centre airbag to mitigate impacts between front-row occupants in a side impact. In terms of active safety systems, the MG 5 still lacks blind-spot monitoring and any kind of driver monitoring system. There's also no reverse AEB or rear cross-traffic alert/assist system. To the end of April, MG has delivered 1123 MG 5 sedans so far this year. But while it outsells other small cars like the Subaru Impreza and Skoda Scala, it's MG's lowest-volume model apart from the flagship Cyberster.

2025 Renault Trafic: More safety gear, small price bump for French van
Renault has updated its mid-size Trafic van, bringing a suite of safety gear and lightly tweaked styling. Prices are up by $490 across the board, which means the range now opens at $49,490 before on-roads for the base Trafic SWB Pro manual and extends to $63,490 before on-roads for the full-fat Trafic LWB Crew lifestyle. Tweaks include new Renault logos and a bulkhead with a glazed window, as well as a middle-seat work station and document holder with hidden laptop storage. New safety gear includes a driver attention monitor, autonomous emergency braking (AEB), a "QR rescue code", an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) shortcut button, and automatic bi-LED reflector-style headlights. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Renault says the ADAS shortcut button provides "direct access to an on/off switch for ADAS features". It also unlocks a "perso" mode, which allows drivers to set up personal favourites to activate or deactivate certain features "at the press of a button". Similarly, the QR rescue code is a digitised barcode on the windscreen that allows first responders "quick access to the vehicle's structural and technical information in the event of a crash". Other changes include making a factory-fitted steel bulkhead standard, which features a glazed window to reduce road noise. This was previously an option on Trafic Pro van models. Fitted inside is a 7-inch digital information display in the instrument cluster, chrome trim for Trafic Crew models, and under-seat storage for the rear seats of Trafic Lifestyle models. Several option packs are also available, which will be detailed in a separate article. Under the bonnet is still a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel, which produces 125kW of power and 380Nm of torque. It's mated with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic, with drive sent to the front wheels only. Renault backs its Trafic with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and servicing is required every 12 months or 30,000km – whichever comes first. The French brand also offers capped-price servicing for the first five visits. A full price and specs article for the updated Trafic will be published in due course. 2025 Renault Trafic pricing: MORE: Everything Renault Trafic Content originally sourced from: Renault has updated its mid-size Trafic van, bringing a suite of safety gear and lightly tweaked styling.
