The 2001 Honda Civic Coupe and the 2001 Volvo S80 earned all-around five-star ratings in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) frontal- and side-impact crash tests. The frontal and side crash tests are part of NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) that provides consumers with safety information on the two most common injury-causing crashes. In frontal tests, vehicles are crashed at 35 mph into a rigid, fixed barrier. The side crash is conducted with a moving, deformable barrier impacting the vehicle at an angle at 38.5 mph. Vehicles are given a rating from one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best level of crash protection. The 2001 Civic Sedan also performed well in the tests, earning a five-star rating for the driver and front-seat passenger in the frontal-impact test and a four-star rating for the driver and rear-seat passenger in side impacts.
