Safety Ratings

Safety ratings indicate the likely performance of your vehicle in a crash – the more stars, the safer the vehicle.

Your vehicle will have one of the following vehicle safety ratings:

• Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP)
• Used car safety ratings (UCSR)
• Vehicle safety risk ratings (VSRR)

ANCAP rating

ANCAP ratings are based on lab crash test data and can only be compared to similar vehicles tested under the same protocols (year of rating). ANCAP tests assess adult and child occupant protection, vulnerable road user protection and crash avoidance technology.

UCSR rating

UCSR ratings assess the safety of vehicles already in the market. Ratings are based on real-world crash statistics of this specific make and model. This rating indicates how well the vehicle will protect its occupants and other road users in comparison to all other light vehicles on New Zealand roads.

VSRR rating

VSRR ratings are estimates based on real-world crash statistics of similar vehicles from the same year of manufacture. This rating estimates how well the vehicle will protect its occupants and other road users in comparison to all other light vehicles on New Zealand roads.

Check out the Rightcar for more information about safety ratings.

Driver Safety

A driver safety rating is based on real-world crash data. It considers how often drivers have been seriously or fatally injured in a crash, when driving a specific make and model. It measures your relative safety driving a vehicle, compared to other vehicles in the New Zealand and Australian fleet. The driver safety rating can be used for all occupants when there are passengers in a vehicle.
