"NCAP stands for New Car Assessment Program. If youfve heard of "government 5-star ratings," then you know NCAP. NCAP is part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
NCAP provides consumers with vehicle safety information, primarily front and side crash test results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions. The test results are relayed to consumers via an easily recognizable star rating system - from 1 to 5 stars, with 5 being the highest."
For those who don't want to go look for themselves, Frontal Crash Driver 5 stars, passenger 4 stars. Side Impact 5 stars. 5 stars means "10% or less chance of serious injury" and is the best possible rating.
We have what the government would consider a very safe car.
