Acura RDX and MDX earned a 4-star rollover rating
Car safety is important for any owner or future user. The safety feature of a vehicle is one of the most important things to consider before buying any four-wheel machine. From the well-functioning automotive parts, special safety auto parts such as the seat belts and air bags should be well-checked. Aside from these interior safety parts, the vehicle’s exterior components are also helpful during road accidents. The Acura RDX and Acura MDX, which are classified under the sports utility vehicle, have passed the rollover rating of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The Japanese automobile ingenuity is clearly evident in this Acura RDX and Acura MDX after it has been given with a four out of five-star rollover rating by the NHTSA. This earned rating by the Acura SUV shows that the vehicle is in fact safe and can withstand rollover situations. Geared with well-crafted Acura parts, these models of the luxury Japanese brand are included in the 78 SUVs that were able to earn a four-star rollover rating. Such rating means that the Acura RDX and Acura MDX have an only 10 to 20 percent risk of a rollover accident. The dimension of these vehicles made these Acura models safe. Until this year, no SUV has earned the perfect rating of NHTSA.
Acura’s vehicles have been designed and manufactured with stability control systems that can offset the occurrence of rollover accidents. Such system, which is also employed by other manufacturers, has helped minimize the rollover fatalities last year. Other SUVs that garnered the four-star rollover rating include Hyundai Santa Fe, Saturn Outlook, Honda CR-V, Jeep Compass, and Ford Explorer, amongst others.
