The 2012 Chrysler 300 and 2012 Dodge Charger have received a five-star safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

It's the highest rating for safety by the administration and measures vehicle safety performance in three categories, including front and side crashes as well as for rollover.

"We're very pleased that both the 2012 Chrysler 300 and 2012 Dodge Charger have achieved the highest overall rating," said Scott Kunselman, senior vice-president of engineering for Chrysler Group. "The results of these tests reflect crashworthiness and performance in different scenarios."

Both the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger, which are assembled in Brampton, also achieved high marks in rollover testing with a four-star rating.

"These vehicles are comprehensively equipped with advanced safety features," said Kunselman. "Both vehicles are robustly designed with a rigid structure to protect occupants and have numerous advanced safety features including, available Adaptive Cruise Control which NHSTA notes as a technology proven to reduce crashes."
