Safety rating
American crash test (NHTSA)
NHTSA safety rating: SX4
NHTSA scores the SX4 from model year 2012 at 4 out of 5 stars (front 4/5, side 3/5, rollover 4/5). This is an American test. It follows the NHTSA protocol and is not a worldwide safety score. Other countries test differently, for example Euro NCAP, and can reach another rating.
