What is the Global NCAP rating?

The Global NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme) rating is an international standard for assessing the safety of vehicles. It evaluates how well a car performs in crash tests, focusing on adult and child occupant protection, pedestrian protection, and safety assist technologies. A higher NCAP rating indicates a safer vehicle, providing consumers with valuable information to make informed decisions.

Vehicles are awarded a star rating (1 to 5 stars) based on their performance in adult occupant protection, child occupant protection, pedestrian protection, and safety assist technologies.

Bharat NCAP is India's own new car assessment program, launched in 2018, with testing protocols aligned with Global NCAP. The outcome of the Bharat NCAP test will provide a more definitive picture of the Kia Sonet NCAP rating and safety performance.
