safest car in the world 2023

Asking for the “safest car in the world 2023” is like asking which footy team is objectively perfect—brave, but not how it works. Safety bodies like ANCAP and Euro NCAP rate cars by class and protocol, so there isn’t a single global champion. In Australia, aim for a 5‑star ANCAP rating from the most recent year possible and make sure it has AEB (with pedestrian/cyclist and junction assist), lane‑keeping, a centre airbag, blind‑spot/rear cross‑traffic assist, and rear AEB. Bigger isn’t automatically safer—compare like for like within the same size class. For extra homework, check the detailed sub‑scores (adult occupant, child occupant, vulnerable road user, safety assist) and pick the one that scores strongly across all four. Then buy the one you’ll actually service and maintain; even five stars can go dull if you treat tyres like a suggestion.
