The winner is: Peugeot 308 XSP
The safety award went to the car that scored the highest score in ANCAP or EuroNCAP crash testing in 2008 for occupant and pedestrian safety, providing the car is available for purchase in New Zealand and every car in the range has the same safety aids as the vehicle tested. The Peugeot 308 XSP scored 54.3 out of 73 points, resulting in a maximum 5 star rating - and it scored the maximum points possible for the side impact crash.
The Peugeot 308 XSP is valued at $41,990.
