As indicated above, our rating only applies to the variant tested with the safety equipment fitted in our tests. Euro NCAP does allow manufacturers to use the star rating in generic advertising of a car model. However, we do not allow out ratings to be used to advertise particular variants that we have not tested, such as estate variants of cars that were originally tested as saloons.
