Euro NCAP (safety ratings)

Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) is an independent organization that tests and rates the safety of new cars. They conduct crash tests and evaluate features like seat belts, airbags, and assistance systems to determine how well a vehicle protects its occupants and pedestrians. Ratings are given in stars, with five being the highest, helping consumers make informed decisions about safety. The goal is to encourage automakers to improve vehicle safety standards and promote safer driving environments across Europe.
