Euro NCAP stands for European New Car Assessment Programme. It has created a five star safety rating system to help consumers, their families and businesses compare vehicles more easily and to help them identify the safest vehicle. These Safety ratings are determined from a series of vehicle tests, designed and conducted by Euro NCAP. It represents, the real world accident scenarios that could result in injured or killed car passengers.
Safety ratings are categorize as "5 stars" - Overall good performance in crash protection. Well equipped with robust crash avoidance technology; "4 stars" - Overall good performance in crash protection; additional crash avoidance technology may be present; "3 stars" - Average to good occupant protection but lacking crash avoidance technology; "2 stars" - Nominal crash protection but lacking crash avoidance technology; and "1 star" - Marginal crash protection.
Every year, Euro NCAP makes a selection of the most popular and interesting vehicle models. In most cases, these are new cars that just released in the market but still Euro NCAP can test the current vehicle on mass production. Every member of Euro NCAP sponsors the assessment of at least one vehicle model per year. Vehicle manufacturers can also sponsor their own nominated cars. When a car has been selected for testing or safety assessment, Euro NCAP consults the manufacturer for the specification about the best-selling variant and the fitment of safety equipment across Europe. Generally, the test vehicle variant must have safety equipment as standard.
