Definition

Euro NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme) is an independent European safety assessment organisation that provides consumers with a realistic and independent assessment of the safety performance of new cars. It awards a star rating from one to five.

Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)

The new Dacia Duster received a 3-star Euro NCAP rating, which is considered not very good, primarily due to the lack of advanced safety systems and pedestrian protection features found in competitors.
