The Veracruz achieved a top five-star rating in all of the federal governments frontal and side crash tests, along with the top Good rating in all of the crash test conducted by the insurance industry (IIHS)—including its seat-based rear-impact test, which gauges whiplash protection.
The Washington Post pointed to its standard electronic stability control, side and head airbags, front active head restraints, and anti-lock brakes, among other features, while Kelley Blue Book summarized, “The Veracruz performed well enough in government crash tests to receive ratings equal to those of its best competitors.”
