Green NCAP has already determined which cars are the cleanest on the market, do you want to know them?

Green NCAP is a non-governmental organisation that is responsible for examining the cars on the market to determine whether they comply with the emissions regulations currently in force. Its main aim is to ensure that we breathe cleaner air, and to do this it examines new vehicles to assess certain aspects of their performance and assign a score.

Just like the Euro NCAP safety rating, it is based on a five-star scale, with five stars being the best rating and 0 stars the lowest. To give you some background, these are the different scores that Green NCAP awards.

• Five stars: This is the highest score and is given to cars that meet all the measures to prevent emissions. It also takes into account low fuel or energy consumption and whether the car is equipped with systems to eliminate polluting emissions.
• Four stars: The next level recognises that the car complies with emissions regulations very efficiently and is properly equipped to eliminate emissions.
• Three stars: If the car has no problems with polluting emissions and its equipment is adequate, though not outstanding, it receives this score. It is a car that meets Green NCAP standards, but it still has room for improvement.
• Two stars: The environmental performance of this car is acceptable, but it has no specific equipment to reduce emissions or consumption.
• One star: The car has poor environmental performance and consumes too much. However, Green NCAP considers that the brand still has room to improve these aspects.
• Zero stars: If a car receives a score of 0 stars, it means its consumption is excessive and its polluting emissions are very high. Its equipment is the minimum required and is not always efficient.
