2014 Explorer NHTSA Rating Remains at Five Stars
One of the most important characteristics an SUV can have is safety. Whether it’s being used as a taxi to transport the kids to their extracurricular activities or a bus to haul the family on a road trip, the higher the safety rating, the better—making the 2014 Ford Explorer one of the top choices in the SUV segment, thanks to another year of top marks from the New Car Assessment Program of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The 2014 Explorer NHTSA rating remains the highest possible, with both the front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models earning five-star overall vehicle scores. It’s difficult to doubt the accuracy of such ratings with available second-row inflatable safety belts offering both comfort and protection to passengers of all shapes and sizes, reducing head, neck, and chest injuries.
Other safety features include AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ to help you maintain control of the SUV, Safety Canopy® side air curtain technology for all three rows, and dual-stage airbags for driver and front passenger.
With these safety features, it’s easy to see why the 2014 Explorer NHTSA rating was as high as possible. Stop by your local Ford dealership today and see just how safe the 2014 Ford Explorer can make you feel!
