Exceptional protection for adults and passengers

In Euro NCAP testing, the Starray EM-i’s passenger compartment remained stable during the frontal offset impact. This structural strength plays a key role in protecting occupants in real-world collisions.

Key highlights include:

• Good protection for knees and femurs for both driver and front passenger
• Stable occupant cell in frontal impacts
• High protection consistency across different occupant sizes and seating positions
• Strong performance in full-width rear passenger protection
• Maximum scores in side barrier testing

Even in more severe side pole impacts, protection remained at least adequate across all critical body areas.

In simple terms, the Starray EM-i is designed to manage impact energy effectively while keeping the cabin space intact.

Strong safety engineering in real-world scenarios

Euro NCAP highlighted that the Starray EM-i would act as a “moderately benign impact partner”, meaning it is designed to reduce injury risk not only to occupants, but also to other vehicles in a collision.

Additional safety performance includes:

• Good whiplash protection in rear-end impacts
• Effective eCall emergency response system
• Secondary collision prevention technology
• Vehicle escape capability in submerged conditions

Outstanding child safety performance

Family safety is a key strength of the Starray EM-i.

The model achieved maximum scores in child occupant protection tests, with strong results for both 6 and 10-year dummies in frontal and side impacts.

Other highlights:

• Front passenger airbag can be disabled for rear-facing child seats
• Clear airbag status indication system
• Advanced child presence detection system
• Wide compatibility with child seat types

Pedestrian and cyclist protection

The Starray EM-i also performs strongly in protecting vulnerable road users.

• Good or adequate protection for pedestrians in most impact zones
• Advanced AEB system reacting to pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists
• Includes “dooring” prevention for cyclists approaching from behind
• Strong performance in real-world urban safety scenarios

Advanced driver assistance systems

As part of its 5-star rating, the Starray EM-i includes a full suite of driver assistance technologies:

• Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
• Lane support and lane keeping assistance
• Intelligent speed assistance
• Driver fatigue and distraction monitoring
• Front and rear seatbelt reminders
