In the United States there are two primary organizations that publish crash and safety data for passenger vehicles. The first is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a branch of the US Government's Department of Transportation, while the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is a non-profit testing organization that gets its funding from Automotive Insurance companies.
The safety ratings of passenger vehicles are now typically advertised on the car makers webpage or can be found out by visiting a local dealer and asking one of the associates. The government website entitled safecar also contains information about car safety ratings.
The institute for highway safety (the organization that does safety ratings) has a website here....http://www.iihs.org/ratings/default.aspx You can browse all makes and models of vehicles for the current safety ratings.
At http://autos.aol.com/car-finder/7-passenger/ there is a comparison with 18 pages of seven passenger vehicles. You can narrow down your search by indicating styles, makes, tow ratings or several other options.
In 2009, there were 8 vehicles picked with the highest crash test ratings, which is 5 stars. The two passenger cars are the Acura RL and Mazda6. For pickup trucks, the Chevrolet Colorado and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 were chosen. The Acura MDX and Ford Flex were the top-rated SUVs, and the Chrysler Town and Country and Mercury Grand Marquis were picked in the Minivan category.

Decibel ratings for vehicles can vary widely based on the type of vehicle and its operating conditions. For example, typical passenger cars produce noise levels ranging from 60 to 70 decibels while idling, and can reach 80 to 90 decibels at higher speeds. In contrast, larger vehicles like trucks and buses can generate noise levels of 80 to 90 decibels or more. Additionally, motorcycles can produce similar or even higher levels, particularly when modified for performance.
