Torrent 5-Star Crash Rating

In recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) testing, the four-wheel drive 2007 and 2008 Pontiac Torrents received the highest rating possible five stars in both front and side-impact crash testing for the both driver and passenger.***

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.
