Tesla's Model X has followed in the wheel-tracks of the Model S sedan by setting a new benchmark for safety in an SUV.
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has awarded the Model X 5-star safety ratings in every one of its nine test categories – a first for an SUV.
Tesla says the car's low-mounted battery pack lends the Model X the lowest roll-over possibility for any SUV.
"More than just resulting in a 5-star rating, the data from NHTSA's testing shows that Model X has the lowest probability of injury of any SUV it has ever tested," Tesla said.
"In fact, of all the cars NHTSA has ever tested, Model X's overall probability of injury was second only to Model S."
