Safety rating of your car indicates how safe your car and its occupants will be in the even of a crash or car accident. The more rating your car has, the safer it will remain in case of a mishap. If you are buying a new car, whether it is a small family car, an SUV or a limousine, you need to identify its rating, so that you can know how safe it will remain under varying circumstances. Usually, cars are given poor, marginal, acceptable and good ratings, based on their performance during crash tests. A car’s safety rating is determined on the basis of its roof strength, head restraints, small overlap front, moderate overlap front and side strength. Let us see how to identify your new car safety ratings to ensure its crashworthiness. 

Safety features in the car: The more safety features there are in the car, the safer it will remain during a crash. Such safety features include the most obvious ones, like the seat belt and front and side air bags, and the more complex ones like electronic stability control.
