Which Car Should I Buy? Episode 3 | Car Crash Ratings Ft David Ward, President Emeritus, Global NCAP

Welcome to Episode 3 of Which Car Should I Buy? With Siddharth Vinayak Patankar. In this episode of the podcast we discuss car crash safety ratings and get into the details of how cars are crash tested. India’s automotive safety landscape has rapidly evolved, with five-star crash-rated cars becoming increasingly common. But are Bharat NCAP ratings truly robust and reliable? In this insightful discussion, David Ward—founding figure behind Global NCAP—dives deep into the progress made in vehicle safety, the rise of Bharat NCAP, and the challenges that lie ahead. The conversation explores whether current crash testing protocols are stringent enough, how they compare to global benchmarks like Euro NCAP, and the risks of complacency or voluntary under-reporting. With India’s car buyers growing more safety-conscious, this video asks the critical questions: Are these crash ratings transparent? Is Bharat NCAP keeping pace with global best practices? And should crash test protocols evolve more frequently to prevent all cars from scoring the same? A must-watch for anyone interested in car safety, policy evolution, and the future of safer vehicles in India.Mandatory labelling of crash testing of cars will push manufacturers to undergo NCAP testing and will also improve consumer knowledge about safety. Catch all the above details and more in our latest podcast video.
