Back-seat safety lags in midsize SUVs
Only four of 13 midsize SUVs tested earn good ratings in the updated moderate overlap front crash test, which now incorporates a dummy in the second row.

Heavy EVs may be a drag on safety
Electric vehicles are just as safe as other vehicles for their occupants, but unless we take action their weight will put other road users at risk.

Real-world proof that ratings matter
Driving a vehicle that earns a good rating in the IIHS driver-side small overlap front test reduces the risk of dying in a frontal crash as much as 12 percent.
