Euro NCAP developed a five-star safety rating system in a bid to help consumers compare the safety performance of vehicles more easily. Safety ratings are based on a series of vehicle tests designed by Euro NCAP to simulate real-life injuries that may cause occupants in the vehicle, or accident scenes where passersby are injured or even killed. "Star" reflects the performance of the vehicle in the Euro NCAP test. The higher "star" ratings not only indicates the more outstanding test results, but also indicates that the higher safety level for the tested model according to the European standard.
