The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA), is a branch of the Department of Transportation, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), is an independent safety-research group sponsored by auto insurers. Using different methodologies, both organizations conduct front and side-impact crash tests. In addition, NHTSA tests for rollover propensity and the IIHS evaluates rear-crash protection and roof strength.
As part of its New Car Assessment Program, NHTSA scores its tests using a scale of one to five stars; the more the stars, the lesser the likelihood of injury or death. The IIHS uses a four-level scale: Poor, Marginal, Acceptable, and Good.
