Exeed ET secures five-star safety certification, set for global debut in UAE market
The China Automotive Technology & Research Centre (CATARC) released the latest crash test results under the 2025 edition of the China New Car Assessment Programme (C-NCAP). The Exeed ET, incorporating advanced safety technologies, became the first mid-size electric SUV globally to receive the prestigious five-star rating in the C-NCAP evaluation.
The C-NCAP guidelines by CATARC have been upgraded to align with global safety standards through stricter testing protocols. As Exeed's strategic market, Middle Eastern road conditions and user demands - including high-speed driving patterns, family-oriented user base, and prioritized safety for children and female passengers - were integral to ET model's R&D process from its conceptual phase, with structural reinforcements and restraint system optimizations implemented accordingly.
Occupant Protection: Leading Safety Performance
The Exeed ET scored 91.28 per cent in occupant protection, ranking first among mid-to-large pure electric SUVs in C-NCAP testing. Under stricter 2024 protocols - including increased frontal collision speed (55 km/h) and side-impact speed (60km/h) - the vehicle demonstrated exceptional structural integrity. Its A/B pillars remained intact, cabin intrusion was minimal, and all doors functioned post-collision. Airbags deployed precisely, while active seat belts and enhanced undercarriage safety further validated its all-scenario passive safety capabilities.
VRU Safety: Enhanced Protection for Pedestrians and Cyclists
With a 76.2 per cent score in Vulnerable Road User (VRU) safety, the EXLANTIX ET excelled in updated evaluations combining pedestrian head/leg impact tests and AEB scenarios. Its hood crumple zones reduced dummy injury values significantly, while the integrated AEB system responded effectively to pedestrians and cyclists in complex cross-intersection simulations. The vehicle's multi-layered protection system met new criteria for child targets and obstacle-inclusive scenarios.
Active Safety: Intelligent Systems for Comprehensive Coverage
Scoring 85.99 pr cent in active safety, the Exeed ET aced rigorous tests under expanded protocols. Its AEB system prevented collisions in highway rear-end and cross-intersection scenarios, while lane-keeping assist and curve departure warnings ensured stable trajectory control. The vehicle also complied with 12 new standards, including Door Opening Warning (DOW), Driver Monitoring (DMS), and Adaptive High Beam Assist (AHBA). Enhanced night lighting performance further solidified its safety network in every weather condition, delivering clear visibility in challenging conditions
According to Exeed officials, the ET model is positioned to compete with premium SUV models in the Dh500,000 segment. The UAE has been designated as the global launch market for both this vehicle and its premium EXLANTIX new energy line-up, with subsequent European deployments planned in markets including Norway and the United Kingdom.
