| be published. According to buzz the front impact was 5 star and the expected side impact is 5 star. The offset impact wasn't yet done. Side-impact was the big question given the suicide doors on the Element, but apparently Honda is extremely happy with the testing. The SantaFe supposedly ranked highest in it's category in the safety ratings in the latest testing, outdoing the CR-V by a smidgen. They added the side-curtain airbags for the back and I'm sure that helped. This also isn't published yet to my knowledge, but it being touted about by the Hyundai salesmen and avoided by they Honda salesmen which leads to an assumption that it's pretty close to the truth (although probably exaggerated). |
