Neither the NHTSA nor IIHS has comprehensively tested the Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van for safety, but the NHTSA did give it a decent four stars out of five for the frontal crash and a perfect five stars for the side crash test. The IIHS has never tested this vehicle and, at this late stage of its model life, probably won't.
