Determining Ratings
Starting with 2004 model year vehicles, rollover ratings will combine both the stationary (at-rest) measurement known as the Static Stability Factor (SSF) and the tip or no tip results of the dynamic maneuvering rollover test. Individual test results, where available, can be viewed on the test details web page for each vehicle in the 5-Star Crash Test and Rollover Ratings section of www.safercar.gov.
For model years 2003 and earlier, rollover ratings will still have star ratings, but will be based on the SSF rating only. Consumers making cross-year comparisons of vehicles' rollover ratings need to be aware of this difference. |
