What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2024 Hyundai Elantra 5 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 5-star median for the 11 comparable 2024 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 10.1% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.
