EuroNCAP didn't make quite as
generous an assessment when it crash - tested the ForTwo in 2014, suggesting the
side -
impact protection provided by the airbags was below par.
Sleek styling, available all - wheel drive, innovative interior storage and
generous rear - seat legroom comfort contributed to Equinox's rookie - of - the - year status, along with anticipated quadruple five - star government ratings for frontal and
side impacts (based on 2005 Equinox NHTSA testing).
