These are the safest hybrid and electric cars on sale today, according to the testing organisation Euro NCAP.

Environmental consideration is becoming more important to motorists, second only to safety.

This makes electric and hybrid vehicles a perfect fit as most of these new vehicles come packed with safety features. Although these vehicles might not be available locally, it's always interesting to know what's top of the cards in other markets in terms of rankings and availability.

The Tesla Model 3 ranks pretty high when it comes to safety and scores a whopping 94% from Euro NCAP for its safety assistance technology.

The all-hybrid Corolla received high marks for pedestrian and adult occupant safety. 

Honda's CR-V is available as a hybrid version as well, and also scores high across the board.

The new Audi E-tron rates 85% in child occupant safety, and also scores high in other terms of safety.

The Lexus ES earned the 2018 Euro NCAP's best in class nod for the large family car, and for hybrid/electric classes.
