The 2013 Ford Accord coupe is the next car to earn perfect marks in National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration crash-testing, based on outcomes recently published to the NHTSA website.
Two additional autos newly analyzed by NHTSA additionally attained five star overall evaluations
from that bureau: the Toyota Avalon full size car as well as the electric type of the Ford Focus small
hatchback.
The Avalon gained a fivestar general rating, but directly -- it got best marks in the aspect-effect
crash-test, but four out of five-stars for the aspect-post effect test the front test and the roll-over
resistance
The Agreement sedan is also one of only four autos -- one of the the others being the Agreementcentered Acura TL -- to earn a best rating of Good in a difficult new Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety front crash test, which compels a little portion of a car's front-end to absorb the full impact of
an accident. The coupe, meanwhile, was evaluated Satisfactory -- the 2nd-highest score -- in that
evaluation.
The Agreement car, which was analyzed previously, is one of an increasing number of current autos
to generate a five-star overall rating in the NHTSA evaluations -- factoring in performance in all of
the subcategories. But even though the car got largely best ratings, it attained four from five-stars in
the frontal collision test. The car has five-stars across the table.
These NHTSA tests, conducted beneath the New Car Evaluation Program, are far tougher compared
to the necessities all automobiles must-pass to go on-sale in the U.S. NHTSA's assessments enhance
security evaluations in the previous Insurance Institute for Highway Security, which analyzes
automobiles in related although maybe not identical crash scenarios.
