2011 tC Gets 5 Star Crash Rating

1. Scion tC Receives Five Star Overall Rating for Crash Tests

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today awarded the all-new 2011 Scion tC sports coupe an overall rating of five stars – its highest rating.

The New Car Assessment Program, a consumer information program created by NHTSA, rates vehicles to determine crash and rollover safety. The test ratings are gathered during controlled crash and rollover tests conducted at the NHTSA research facilities.

The tC comes standard with a total of eight supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbags, including driver and front passenger airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, driver and front-passenger knee airbag and side curtain airbags.

All 2011 tCs come standard with Anti-lock Brakes and Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, Traction Control, Vehicle Stability Control and Smart Stop Technology. Additional features include a tire pressure monitoring system and newly adopted active front headrests.
