NHTSA applies the results for the CTS sedan to the sport wagon model because of its similar body structure and safety equipment. Under this methodology, Cadillac’s SRX and CTS sport sedan achieved an overall vehicle score of five stars – the highest rating possible - even though some individual ratings, such as rollover, resulted in four-stars. Under the new system, the four test conditions are combined mathematically into an “Overall Vehicle Score.” The overall rating is based on frontal and side crash tests in addition to rollover resistance testing. The Cadillac models were tested under NHTSA’s revised New Car Assessment Program implemented for the 2011 model year.
