ANCAP SAFETY RATINGS
Since 1993, ANCAP has published safety ratings for thousands of different vehicle models, makes and variants.
These vehicles are awarded an ANCAP safety rating of between 1 to 5 stars indicating the level of safety they provide in the event of a crash.
The more stars, the better the vehicle performed in ANCAP tests.ANCAP recommends 5 star rated cars. To achieve the maximum 5 star ANCAP safety rating, a vehicle must achieve the highest standards in all tests and feature advanced safety assist technologies (SAT).
