NOTE: Tests were conducted on 1980 model vehicles and may or may not be accurate to other model years.
As with all years, some tests may be missing due to incomplete data. This page contains MOST 35 mph frontal NCAP crash tests done by NHTSA.

Injury likelihoods are calculated by the best of my ability and may be off by a slight amount.
UPDATE DECEMBER 30, 2013 - These tests are being re-posted. Injury likelihoods are being re-calculated, and the later calculations should be judged to be more accurate than the calculations in this post.

NOTE: At the time this test was conducted, NHTSA used a pass/fail system of grading. Vehicles with HICs of 1000 or under and chest G's of 60 or under for both occupants passed. This vehicle failed because the driver's HIC score was just one point too high. The pass/fail system has been discontinued since September 1981, and the current five-star rating system was introduced in December 1993.
