ANCAP

ANCAP, or the Australasian New Car Assessment Program, is a safety organization that tests and rates vehicles to help consumers understand their safety levels. They evaluate cars through crash tests, safety feature assessments, and technology checks, then assign a safety rating from one to five stars. A higher star rating indicates better safety performance. This independent testing helps buyers make informed decisions when purchasing a vehicle, encouraging manufacturers to improve safety features and overall vehicle design for occupant protection.
