Five-Star Safety Ratings

Five-Star Safety Ratings are a measure used to evaluate the safety of vehicles in crash tests, typically conducted by organizations like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the United States. Cars are tested for their performance in various types of collisions and how well they protect occupants. A higher star rating indicates better crash protection and safety features. Vehicles can earn between one to five stars, with five stars representing the best safety performance. Consumers often use these ratings to make informed decisions about purchasing a vehicle that prioritizes safety.
