Expert Quotes:

Five stars, all impact tests; four stars, rollover rating
NHTSA

Good," frontal offset and side impact crash tests
IIHS

offers the same kind of safety equipment you'll find on the Odyssey and Sienna
Automotive.com

The 2008 Hyundai Entourage provides superior levels of safety for its occupants.

The Entourage earned top scores and ratings from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This 2008 Hyundai "has the best crash-safety ratings any minivan has yet earned," according to MyRide.com.

Most of the sources consulted by experts at TheCarConnection.com say little about Hyundai Entourage 2008 safety equipment. However, Automotive.com has nothing but accolades: "established life-savers that come standard on the Hyundai Entourage 2008 include electronic stability control (to control skids), and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. Side-impact air bags inflate from the front seats for torso protection, and air curtains cover the side windows for vital head protection in a rollover or side-impact crash. Front-seat active head restraints move forward in a rear-end crash to minimize whiplash injuries."

ConsumerGuide notes that the 2008 Hyundai does have a few visibility issues: "The thick windshield pillars can impede visibility to the front corners, but there are clear sightlines elsewhere."

Conclusion

The 2008 Hyundai Entourage is one of the safest vehicles in a class that’s engineered for safe family transportation.

Other Choices:

There aren't many minivans, crossovers, or SUVs that drive as well as the sporty Mazda 5. The 2008 Hyundai Entourage is larger than the Mazda, and it drives that way. If you don't need the extra room, then the Mazda 5 is worth a test drive.
