How Land Rover approaches safety
Land Rover safety index: 5.0 / 5 (5.0★ avg across 2 of 2 models tested)
Land Rover has a verified crash rating for 2 of its 2 models (100% of the range), averaging 5.0/5 with 2 at a full 5 stars. Our safety index of 5.0/5 is coverage-adjusted: a brand earns credit only for models it actually crash-tests, so untested cars count against it. That puts Land Rover #1 of 17 brands we track.
Safety index = average Global / Bharat / Euro NCAP star rating across tested Land Rover models, multiplied by the share of the range that has been tested, so brands that crash-test their whole line-up rank above brands that test only their safest cars. Every rating is verified against the OEM and independent sources; untested models are never guessed.
