The five-door mid-size electric <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/leaf">Nissan Leaf</a> has become the first plug-in vehicle to receive five stars from the European New Car Assessment Program. Euro NCAP tests vehicles in frontal impact, side impact, side pole impact and the potential for whiplash.<br />
<br />
The Leaf's lithium-ion battery pack, which is positioned below the rear-seat compartment, suffered no damage during any of the tests. The five-seat Leaf received an 89 percent rating for adult occupant safety, 84 percent for its on-board safety-assist systems, 65 percent in pedestrian safety and 83 percent for child occupant safety.<br />
<br />
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety conducted its <a href="http://green.autoblog.com/2011/04/26/chevy-volt-nissan-leaf-earn-top-safety-picks-in-first-iihs-elec/">first mainstream plug-in vehicle crash tests</a> in April of 2011, and both the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/volt">2011 Chevrolet Volt</a> and the 2011 Nissan Leaf were named "Good" for their front, side, rear, and rollover crash protection and both received the IIHS' Top Safety Pick title.<br />
