This makes sense, as cars become more and more globalised. It should mean that we get more results for more cars, and quicker.....

"How does the ANCAP test program compare with overseas test programs?

There are now nine New Car Assessment Programs (NCAPs, or crash test programs) around the world and each conducts its own slightly different range of crash tests and assessments. The most similar test program to ANCAP is that of Euro NCAP. ANCAP harmonised test procedures with Euro NCAP in 1999 and participates in a crash test data exchange allowing a considerable number of European manufactured models to be tested in Europe and rated for the Australasian market. Eight of the nine test programs publish vehicle safety ratings using a star rating system (1 to 5 stars). The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rates vehicles using a scaled rating system (Good, Acceptable, Marginal or Poor). The range of tests and test configurations differ across test programs as does the way in which the final rating is calculated. The specification of models available in different markets may also differ. For these reasons, results from overseas/differing markets should be used as a guide only.
ANCAP is a member of Global NCAP, an overarching body, which aims to encourage the worldwide availability of independent consumer information about the safety of motor vehicles."

" Will ANCAP be introducing new tests?

Yes. From 2018 ANCAP will align with Euro NCAP which will see the introduction of a number of new physical crash tests and performance assessments of safety assist technologies (SAT). The calculation method used to determine ANCAP safety ratings will also change."
Thats great, but ive shared the link to Euro NCAP which shows no change in Euro NCAP for 2017 and compares the Stang to the a 5 star Volvo
