Very detailed and clear presentations of the tests carried out and the results obtained are published in 10 languages.
The ratings explained
Euro NCAPEuro NCAP – European New Car Assessment Programme is intended to perform comprehensive, objective and independent safety evaluations of vehicles and to inform the public of the results. More introduced the overall safety rating in 2009, based on assessment in four important areas:
- Adult Occupant Protection (for the driver and passenger);
- Child Occupant Protection;
- Pedestrian Protection which has been expanded to include cyclists and is now known as Vulnerable Road User (VRU) protection; and
- Safety Assist, which evaluated driver-assistance and crash-avoidance technologies.
The more stars, the better
5 star safety: Excellent overall rating for impact protection and good equipment with comprehensive and practical accident avoidance technology.
present example Tesla Model S:
Vehicles with double ratings?
One of the ratings is based on a vehicle having the standard safety equipment present in each variant of the model range in all 28 EU Member States. This rating reflects the minimum safety standard.
The second rating is based on a vehicle equipped with a “safety package” that may be offered to customers as an additional option.
Is Euro NCAP better than Global NCAP?
