And it led to 5-star NHTSA crash test ratings for 4 years running.* Our exclusive Intelligent Safety System™ instantly determines the severity of an impact and responds precisely. Our patented Safety Canopy® System provides comprehensive airbag coverage, including outboard seated passengers in the 1st and 2nd rows. Our new, standard SOS Post Crash Alert System** is automatically activated. Best of all, AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ helps ensure that you won’t need these features.†

  • *Star ratings are part of the U.S. Dept. of Transportation's Safercar.gov Program (www.safercar.gov). **SOS hardware may become damaged or the battery may lose power in a crash, which could prevent operation. Not all crashes will activate an airbag or safety belt pretensioner. †Remember, even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.
