Now there is even more to love about it. The 2015 Mustang has received a top safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). That’s right, the all-new Mustang earned a five-star Overall Vehicle Score in NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) testing.

The New Car Assessment Program is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s evaluation program for new vehicle designs established to test for performance against safety threats. Now on sale at Ford dealers, the all-new 2015 Mustang received five stars in the frontal crash test, five stars in the side crash test and five stars in the rollover crash test.

“The new Mustang was built from the ground up,” said Carl Widmann, Mustang chief engineer. “It is more refined, more powerful and it has everything people have come to love about Mustang for the past 50 years.”

The Mustang has a ton of standard safety features aimed at protecting drivers and occupants, as well as semi-autonomous and driver assist features that are new to the vehicle.

Dome of the features include: an all-new inflatable airbag restraint design, double the 2015-ford-mustang-50th-anniversary-edition-interior-photo-589481-s-1280x782number of airbags in the vehicle, a robust package of peripheral crash sensors and enhanced exterior lighting.
