The distributors of the Great Wall Motors Steed 5, a vehicle that scored zero stars for adult occupant protection in a recent Global NCAP test, said it was 'surprised at the results'. | Wheels24

Subscribers can listen to this article• The Automobile Association and Global NCAP released the results of crash tests conducted on several vehicles sold in South Africa. • Haval, the company's distributors, said it was surprised at the results.

The Automobile Association and Global NCAP's assessment of the Steed 5 was that"the protection offered to the driver head was poor and passenger head showed good protection. Driver neck showed weak protection while passenger neck showed good protection." Haval has responded by saying that"safety is not only our top priority with every vehicle we manufacture, it is quite literally part of our DNA. We at Haval Motor South Africa rank the safety of our clients as paramount, so much so that it is one of our core corporate values."

"It is regrettable that vehicles are tested that have been in production for quite some time and are fitted with basic passive and active safety aids due to them being of a lower specification in this area to obviously assist in bringing the over all price of the vehicle down making it more accessible than vehicles with all the safety aids."
