New Car Safety is a very big deal, especially with new tech like EV’s.
Fortunately, we have ANCAP, who crash cars and rate them to make them safer for all of us.
It’s very pleasing to see latest EV results from ANCAP, the Ford Mustang Mach E scored a maximum 5 stars out of 5 rating (unlike it’s petrol sibling). It’s the latest, over the last 12 months, in a series of EV ANCAP tests to score 5 stars, a list that includes; Would you believe today there’s 32 EV’s that have achieved 5 stars, from brands like;
Tesla Model Y, with an all car record,
Kia Nero
Genesis GV60
BYD Atto 3
Cupra Born
Polestar 2
Ionic 5 & 6

Who is ANCAP
ANCAP, the Australasian New Car Assessment Program, ANCAP Safety, for Aust. and NZ is the testing body.
They perform benchmark tests, assessing new cars on a number of safety factors then informing car buyers in Aust and NZ.
More simply, they crash test cars and conduct performance assessments on safety features and technologies and publish the results on a 5 star rating system of relative performance.
The Australia equivalent of Euro NCAP, ANCAP is one of nine similar boards around the world. It’s been operating in Australia for 30 years.
In Australia, there’s 21 Member organisation, including Aust. and NZ State and Fed Govt’s, State based Auto Associations, and other government bodies.
You can look up and view the results of any car in Australia/NZ, at www.ancap.com.au and meet their family of “testers”!
