2011 Chevrolet Volt is First EV to Receive Overall Five-Star NHTSA Vehicle Score

VoltNHTSA2

Another accolade for the Chevrolet Volt. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration today named the 2011 Volt the first electric vehicle to earn a five-star overall vehicle score. You may recall, the Volt was also recently declared a 2011 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Starting with 2011 models, NHTSA began introducing tougher and tests and more thorough requirements for vehicles to achieve a five-star safety rating for its New Car Assessment Program. This program is designed to improve protection inside vehicles, while helping buyers make safer decisions when it comes to purchasing a vehicle.

Safety features on the Volt include:

  • GM’s StabiliTrak electronic stability control system
  • Front-, side- , knee- air bags as well as roof-mounted head-curtain air bags that help protect occupants in a side or rollover crash
  • Optional rearview camera system featuring a display integrated into the navigation system screen
  • Five-year subscription to OnStar’s Directions and Connections Plan including Automatic Crash Response, stolen vehicle assistance and connected navigation
