It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars). |
2002 Suzuki Vitara Review
"This is Suzuki's most-popular line and its sales are dominated by the V6-powered Grand Vitara. It outsells the 4-cyl Vitara 6-1, and both are handily outsold by the Chevrolet Tracker, which shares their Suzuki-sourced body-on-frame design. The 4-cyl Vitara comes as a 2-dr convertible and 4-dr wagon. Grand Vitaras are 4-dr wagons. All offer rear-wheel drive or 4WD that must be disengaged on dry pavement but includes low-range gearing. Automatic transmission is optional. Seat fabrics are altered for 2001, the revised audio system has a standard CD player, and 4-cyl Vitaras wear a restyled grille. These Suzukis match corresponding Trackers in performance and accommodations. "
