About Saudi NCAP

Building trust through independent safety testing and transparent information for all road users across the Kingdom

Overview

NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) is an independent vehicle safety rating system that provides consumers with clear, unbiased information about the crash protection and safety performance of new vehicles.

Unlike regulatory tests that simply pass or fail vehicles, NCAP programs use rigorous crash testing and advanced safety technology assessments to rate vehicles on a scale, helping consumers compare safety performance across different makes and models.

NCAP programs worldwide have been instrumental in driving improvements in vehicle safety standards, encouraging manufacturers to go beyond minimum regulatory requirements and innovate in crash protection and active safety technologies.
