Crash test body provides vital research

If vehicle safety is important to you when buying a new car, a little bit of research can go a long way.

Sure, you can do some box ticking through the vehicle’s standard list of specifications to ensure it comes with all the latest gear to prevent an accident.

But not all vehicles - or their systems - are created equally. Which is where the Australian New Car Assessment Program - or ANCAP - comes in.
