Small overlap crash test stymies most midsize SUVs; 2 models from GM earn the only good ratings in class

ARLINGTON, Va. — The Chevrolet Equinox and its twin, the GMC Terrain, are the only midsize SUVs out of nine evaluated to earn a good rating in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small overlap front crash test, which continues to challenge manufacturers more than a year and a half after its introduction.

Did the 2020 2022 Toyota highlander did any better than the 2014 2019 models In your test?

The door latch in the Mazda CX-9 just ripped off.

Was there any injuries to the dummie in a Toyota highlander?

[planecrashdisaster...]

The CX9 is the worst car ever. Its A-pillar moved even more than the Pilot, and the CX9 was the only car in these nine test cars that didn't deploy side airbags and had poor aerodynamic ratings.
