While the video does not show the rating I am pretty sure it was rated 4 stars.

Yes, e85 is 4 stars, e89 is 3 stars.
Not that the e89 is less safe; its a relative measurement, they set the bar higher and higher each year. It's a comparison to other cars in the same class in a certain era (roadster sport in this case)
So a 2017 roadster sport with 5 stars is a very safe 2017 roadster but still not as safe as a 2017 SUV with the same 5 stars.
