Safety - What the Auto Press Says

One noteworthy piece of equipment the Envoy doesn't include as standard equipment is a head curtain side-impact air bag system -- but even with that option, it doesn't perform as well as rivals in crash tests.

In government crash tests, the 2009 Envoy scores just three out of five stars for driver safety in frontal crashes and four stars for passenger safety. In side crash tests, the Envoy gets top five-star ratings for both front and rear seat protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives it an "Acceptable" rating for frontal offset tests (second best on a four-point scale) and "Marginal" for side impact tests (second worst on a four-point scale).

  • "No side-impact thorax airbags are offered, but side curtain airbags for the first and second rows can sense an impending rollover and deploy." -- Cars.com
