What is ncap rating?
The full form of NCAP is New Car Assessment Program, which is supported by the government of almost every country. It ensures the safety of the injuries and lives of the consumers in the accident. NCAP ratings are based on a series of crash tests that evaluate a vehicle’s performance in various crash scenarios. Ratings range from one to five stars, with five stars being the highest possible rating. A higher NCAP rating indicates that the vehicle has a better chance of protecting its occupants in the case of an accident. In short, the NCAP rating is a useful factor for consumers to consider when buying a new vehicle.

Why crash testing is important?
Crash testing is important as it helps in ensuring the safety of vehicles and occupants in the case of an accident. It checks the built quality of the car and the working condition and quality of safety tools such as automatic braking system, air bags, which play an important role in reducing the risk of injury or death.
Crash testing also plays a critical role in regulatory compliance. In many countries, including the United States, automakers are required by law to meet certain safety standards before they can sell their vehicles. These standards are often based on the results of crash testing, and manufacturers must demonstrate that their vehicles meet or exceed these standards before they can be approved for sale.
Overall, crash testing is a vital component of the automotive industry, helping to ensure that vehicles are as safe as possible for their occupants and the other individuals on the road.
Note2:
It is important to note that safety ratings do not remain constant as new models of cars are coming out every year and safety standards are also changing with time. Hence, it is important to always check the latest safety ratings of any vehicle before buying it.
