NCAP (New Car Assessment Program)

The New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) is a safety testing system that evaluates how well new vehicles protect occupants and pedestrians in the event of a crash. It involves crash tests, safety feature assessments, and overall vehicle design analysis. Based on the results, NCAP assigns star ratings or safety scores, helping consumers compare vehicles' safety performance. These ratings encourage manufacturers to improve safety features, ultimately aiming to reduce injuries and save lives on the road. NCAP's assessments are trusted benchmarks for informed decision-making when purchasing a new vehicle.
