New Crash Tests of Small Cars 2009




They Earn Good Ratings in Frontal Tests,
But Many Models Need Better Side and Rear Crash Protection Most new small cars now earn good ratings in frontal crash tests, but not when it comes to side and rear crashes. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently completed front, side, and rear tests of seven 2009 model small cars: Chevrolet HHR, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra, Saturn Astra, Suzuki SX4, and Toyota Matrix and its twin Pontiac Vibe. All earn the highest rating of good for occupant protection in frontal crashes. Only the Matrix and SX4 also earn good ratings for protection in side crashes. Among seat/head restraints evaluated, only those in the Focus earn a good rating for protection in rear impacts. The Institute also tested the Mini Cooper, a minicar that earns good ratings for front and rear crashworthiness - but not for side protection.
