The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
Style and roominess.
By Paul A. Eisenstein, NewCarTestDrive.com
There were plenty of "oohs" and "aahs" when they pulled the wraps off this second-generation Intrepid. Deservedly so. This is a car that's going to turn heads wherever it goes.With its powerful engine and stiff body structure, the Dodge Intrepid proves that beauty is more than skin deep. The car is quieter and smoother than the vehicle it replaces. Add that extra room for passenger and plenty of additional cargo space and you come up with a winning combination. That still leaves the question that has been hanging over Chrysler: can it deliver the type of quality today's buyers expect? Combine initial survey results along with what we found on our own, week-long test drive and we're tempted to say, yes. The fit-and-finish and overall feel of the new Intrepid suggests the car is a lot more solid, substantial and reliable than the first-generation sedan-and just as much fun to drive. |
|
Overview:
|
Cutting-edge styling usually comes at a price. You usually get a car that cuts corners somewhere else, like headroom, trunk space or ease of entry. The Dodge Intrepid is an exception to this rule. With its cab-forward design, it looks so futuristic it could have rolled off the set of a science-fiction movie. Yet its provides one of the roomiest interiors in the mid-size class. Intrepid is just one in a range of midsize sedans from the Chrysler side of DaimlerChrysler, and the most sporty-looking of the group. And fans will be glad to see that with last year's redesign, there are now very clear distinctions between these various models. The Chrysler Concorde is longer and more conservative, the Chrysler 300M is shorter and more European in design. But like the original, much more look-alike sedans, the new models make maximum use of cab-forward design. In the case of the Intrepid, the sedan noses into view with an aggressive grille borrowed from the racy Dodge Viper. The sloping cowl sweeps into a steeply raked windshield, over the curvaceous roof and down a decklid reminiscent of past fastbacks. The visual impression is one of kinetic motion. But looks alone aren't enough. The original Intrepid had some serious issues for Chrysler to address. Its interior was noticeably noisier than the competition. Its headlights weren't nearly bright enough. And quality problems plagued early models. On paper, at least, Intrepid's engineers have addressed these issues. Here's what we found when we put the car on the road.
