What does a 5-Star Rating mean?

NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) rates vehicles of all makes and models to determine their crash and rollover safety. Our ratings are created with data gathered during controlled crash and rollover tests. Vehicles with the highest ratings receive a 5-Star Rating. Read more about NHTSA's 5-Star Ratings in NCAP Frequently Asked Questions.

For all questions relating to NCAP crash testing, star ratings,
and vehicle safety, please email crash.test@dot.gov

Safety concerns: These are safety issues that occur during NCAP tests and that are not reflected in the measurements used to calculate star ratings. Safety concerns are indicated by the symbol (Safety Concern Symbol), placed in the appropriate rating category positioned as a superscript to the right of the right-most star in the rating category. Examples of a safety concern may include (but are not limited to) structural failure or non-intended performance of vehicle components. They can include such things as fuel leakages and door openings.
