What the Stars Mean
NHTSA CRASH TEST CATEGORIES
NHTSA rates vehicles from 1 to 5 stars across multiple crash test categories. More stars means better protection in that type of crash.
Overall
Combined score across all crash tests and rollover resistance.
Frontal Crash
Measures protection in a head-on collision for driver and front passenger.
Side Crash
Evaluates protection when struck from the side by another vehicle.
Rollover
Based on the vehicle's static stability factor — how resistant it is to tipping over.
