Torrent 5-Star Crash Rating
The 2007 and 2008 Torrents have received the highest possible frontal and side impact crash test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration - Five Stars.***
Crash-Avoidance Features
Both all-wheel-drive versions of Torrent come standard with on-demand all-wheel drive. It delivers power to the front wheels during normal driving on dry road surfaces, but if rain, snow, or mud cause front-wheel slippage, power is automatically delivered to the rear wheels as well. The system is automatic and works seamlessly with no action required by the driver to achieve excellent traction and mobility.

The Torrent FWD models feature standard traction control.

Security
All Torrent models come standard with the theft-deterrent alarm system.

Occupant Protection
Among its many safety features, the Torrent provides driver and right front passenger air bags†† and 3-point safety belts for all positions, plus pretensioners for the front safety belts to reduce belt slack in a frontal collision severe enough to cause air bag deployment. There are child-seat LATCH anchors at each of the three back-seating positions, with the rear outboard positions also having safety belt comfort guides.

*** Five-star rating is for the driver and front passenger seating positions in the frontal crash test and for the front and rear seating positions in the side-impact crash test. Side-impact crash test rating is for a model tested without optional Head Curtain side-impact air bags (SABs). Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) New Car Assessment Program (www.safercar.gov).

† OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless service and GPS satellite signals to be available and operating for features to function properly. OnStar acts as a link to existing emergency service providers. Visit onstar.com for system limitations and details.

†† Always use safety belts and proper child restraints even with air bags. Children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the appropriate infant, child or booster seat.
