There are two ratings systems for cars. The star system is the one most recently developed by ANCAP, but it cannot be directly compared to ANCAP's previous system of assigning cars a rating of Good, Acceptable, Marginal, and Poor.

Vehicles are tested using crash test dummies and are rated for the extent to which they protect occupants in the event of a crash. Find out if your vehicle has been rated and how it compares.
