Comparing Test Results
The Euro NCAP frontal impact tests simulates crashing a car into another of similar mass and structure. This means that the ratings can only be meaningfully compared between cars of the same type and size. The following structural categories are used:
- Passenger car
- MPV
- Off-roader
- Roadster
- Pickup
In each category, cars which are within 150 kg of one another are considered comparable.
