What the ratings mean
NHTSA published rollover resistance for this vehicle but not frontal crash, side crash and side pole. An untested area is not a poor result — it means no published data exists, and the overall star rating is calculated without it.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 7.9% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.
