So here we are going to learn all about Global NCAP ratings.


How does Global NCAP work?


They designed a crash test setup for frontal collision between two cars. For that, the car is driven at 64 Kph and collide into a deformable barrier. It is equivalent of a crash test between two cars of the same weight, moving at 50 Kph.

How they rate a car?


After the collision, they study the damages impacted to the dummies placed in it. And, based on that they give points. For example, 17-points for the driver's safety, 49-points for child occupant (18 months to 3 years old) protection etc. are the basic point structure. Whereas, Global NCAP mandates a driver’s side airbag as the minimum requirement to qualify for a one-star rating. Additionally, Global NCAP gives extra points for child restraints systems, three-point seat belts, electronic stability control etc.

Why these ratings are important?


Global NCAP rating provides consumers with independent advice and comparative information for car. These tests are done by keeping the protection parameters for the safety of occupant and pedestrian through the features provided by different vehicle manufacturers.
