How tests are conducted and how the Institute determines ratings:

Moderate overlap front — Ratings should be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.

Side — Ratings can be compared across vehicle type and weight categories. Except where noted, models have a standard complement of side airbags, generally consisting of front and rear curtain airbags to protect the head and front seat-mounted airbags to protect the torso.

Rear crash protection ratings for all models tested

Focuses on how well seat/head restraint combinations protect against whiplash injuries

See ratings by manufacturer:  

Rollover crash protection ratings for all models tested

Assesses vehicle roof strength for protection in rollover crashes

See ratings by vehicle type/size:
