Saab 9-4X Joins Saab 9-5 Sedan in earning Top Safety Pick 2011
Trollhättan, Sweden: The new Saab 9-4X crossover has earned ‘Top Safety Pick´, the highest rating for crashworthiness awarded by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the United States. Only three weeks ago, the Saab 9-5 Sedan received the same accolade.
“To achieve two Top Safety Picks in three weeks is, of course, extremely gratifying," says Per Lenhoff, Head of Safety Development at Saab Automobile. “Our main priority is always the protection of real people in real accidents, but the IIHS tests are a valuable guide for consumers and it is important for us to achieve good results."
IIHS is a research and communications organization funded by auto insurers in the US. The test procedures include front impact (offset) and side impact crashes. Seat/head restraints are also tested in a simulated rear-end impact to assess protection against whiplash injuries and the roof structure is tested to assess vehicle rollover protection.
Performance is rated as ´Good´, ´Acceptable´, ´Marginal´ or ´Poor´ in each of the tests and to achieve the ´Top Safety Pick´ award, cars must achieve the highest rating in all four procedures
