ARLINGTON, Va., March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most midsize SUVs offer inadequate front crash protection for passengers seated in the rear, the latest crash test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show.

Key Points: 
  • ARLINGTON, Va., March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most midsize SUVs offer inadequate front crash protection for passengers seated in the rear, the latest crash test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show.
  • Although the test still includes a driver dummy, rear passenger protection is the main thing currently differentiating vehicles in this test.
  • Of 13 midsize SUVs tested, only four — the Ford Explorer, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Subaru Ascent and Tesla Model Y — earn good ratings.
  • This isn’t because the rear seat has become less safe, but because restraint technologies have only improved in the front seat.

Its discouraging that so many midsize SUVs and small pickups perform poorly in the nighttime test because research suggests these types of vehicles are more dangerous to pedestrians, says Harkey.

Key Points: 
  • Its discouraging that so many midsize SUVs and small pickups perform poorly in the nighttime test because research suggests these types of vehicles are more dangerous to pedestrians, says Harkey.
  • A recent IIHS study found that the technology slashed pedestrian crashes by more than a quarter overall for equipped vehicles.
  • All three vehicles slowed substantially with their high and low beams in the 37 mph parallel test, mitigating the impact.
  • While some basic-rated vehicles avoided hitting the pedestrian dummy at the lower test speeds, none avoided collisions in the higher-speed crossing or higher-speed parallel scenario.

Key Points: 
  • Its encouraging to see so many midsize SUVs from different automakers earn good ratings in this more challenging evaluation, says IIHS Senior Research Engineer Becky Mueller, whose research formed the foundation for the new test protocol.
  • Like the original side test, the new test represents the type of crash that occurs when two crossing vehicles collide in an intersection.
  • Instead of the earlier 3,300 pounds, the new one weighs around 4,200 pounds, which approximates the weight of most modern midsize SUVs.
  • Except for the Wrangler, all the midsize SUVs tested earn good scores for their driver and passenger airbags and head injury measures.
