Kia Motors Carnival Van Earns High Safety Rating
Kia Motors announced that its popular van Carnival earned the highest safety rating in the latest crash tests conducted by the United States Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
``The Carnival earned the top rating of five stars in the NHTSA’s frontal and side crash tests for four years in a row,’’ Kia said in a statement. ``The test results are significant because the NHTSA has a great influence on U.S. consumers in their automobile purchases.’’
The NHTSA named the Carnival, which is sold as the Sedona in the U.S., as the safest van, along with the Chrysler Town & Country, the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Mazda MPV and the Nissan Quest. Kia officials said the NHTSA test will help improve Kia’s image among U.S. consumers.
In contrast, earlier this month the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) survey ranked some of the Korean cars being sold in the United States low in terms of driver safety during accidents.
The survey, released on the institute indicated drivers of Kia Motors' compact Rio and sport utility vehicle Sportage and Hyundai Motor's compact Accent face a high risk of death in traffic accidents
