Abstract

This article presents results from the 2007 vehicle frontal crash test data, as conducted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The primary goal of these tests is to evaluate a vehicle's occupant protection capability. One lengthy table summarizes the findings, including the vehicle make, model, curb weight (in pounds), test weight (in pounds), speed (in both mph and km/h), crush width (in inches), crush depth (in inches), and average crush (in inches and centimeters). The bulk of the article consists of an atlas of full-color photographs of six vehicles, both before the tests and showing results at 25mph and 35mph. The vehicles included in this section are: 2007 Honda FIT, 2007 Hyundai Elantra, 2007 Jeep Wrangler, 2007 Mazda CX-7, 2007 Toyota Camry, and 2007 Toyota Yaris.
