Hyundai Sonata, BMW 5 Series, get top score on U.S. crash tests


Bayerische Motoren Werke AG’s 5 Series and Hyundai Motor Co.’s Sonata got the highest rating among passenger cars and trucks tested for crashes under a new U.S. rating system.
Female crash-test dummies were added to the male figures for the first time as the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rated 34 models under a redesigned testing regime, the regulatory agency said today in a statement.
