2015 Dodge Challenger Earns Five-Star Safety Rating

The 2015 Dodge Challenger boasts a five-star safety rating due to the addition of multiple driver assist features and an exceptional performance in front and side collision tests performed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

In a comprehensive study the NHTSA saw the 2015 Challenger's addition of a Forward Collision Warning system as a step up in the safety of the model, bumping it to the five-star level. The NHTSA went on to perform collision tests in which the car earned a five-star rating in front and side collisions, making it the safest car in its class. This is due to Dodge's adaption of state-of-the-art crumple zones in the front and rear of the vehicle, combined with comprehensive traction control, electronic stability control and hill start systems. Further optional features for improved passenger safety include adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring, safety features that will become widespread as more auto manufacturers adapt to the new age of automotive safety.

The safety rating system of the NHTSA goes beyond standards required by federal law in order to give consumers a more detailed look at the safety features offered in today's auto marketplace. The NHTSA stands above other safety rating organizations as the only group offering rollover, front, and side crash data and is sponsored by the US Department of Transportation. Their safety rating system is constantly being updated so that a model must keep up with the most advanced safety technology in order to be considered for a four or five star rating. Dodge has shown its commitment to passenger safety by updating the 2015 Challenger with cutting-edge safety features and volunteering to undergo the rigorous testing enforced by the NHTSA.

The star rating system is based upon average data taken from cars within the test vehicle's class. A rating of five stars means the safety of the vehicle in question is much higher than average. In other terms, a five-star rating in front and side impacts, like that given to the 2015 Dodge Challenger, means that the injury risk for front and side impacts is much less than the average car in the Challenger's class. Considering the volume of vehicles tested by the NHTSA, this five-star rating is not easy to come by.

The 2015 Dodge Challenger has over 70 available safety and security features that have been carried over from previous Challenger models and other Dodge cars, including curtain and torso airbags, multistage frontal airbags, dynamic head restraints, latch positions for child seats, and an optional rearview camera, all of which come together to ensure a safe and comfortable ride.
