Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
Tested vehicle: 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander XLE 4-door 4wd
Rating applies to 2024-26 models
The Toyota Grand Highlander and Lexus TX were introduced for the 2024 model year.
