1982 NHTSA Crash Tests - Up to August 1982
I am back!
I am not affiliated with NHTSA. Injury measures are likely accurate to a 2% range. This page contains most crash tests and may or may not contain all 1982 model year NHTSA tests. Tests were conducted on 1982 model year vehicles and may or may not be accurate for a differing model year. Now that we got that boilerplate out of the way, let's get to the crash test results!
Unfortunately, the star ratings from my old source were taken off the internet, so I am using a general estimation of star ratings based on the following chart. When I find a new source for pre-1990 star ratings, I will update this post as needed. Some borderline cases may be off a star, due to my 2% range accuracy - e.g. a vehicle listed as a 21% injury "3 star" is likely 19-23% injury risk, and could be a 4 star if the risk is truly 19-20%.
10% or less risk of severe injury - 5 stars.
11-20% - 4 stars
21-35% - 3 stars
36-45% - 2 stars
46% or more - 1 star
Oh and Merry Christmas.
