  1. the rollover test just tests for likelihood of rolling over, not the actual strength of the roof itself. the insurance institute has a roof test which does not test veracuz. the best proxy are the related hyundais they do test – Santa Fe and Kia sorento, both of which received respectable scores of ~4.3 ratio of weight applied to vehicle weight.
