Updated IIHS crash test looks at accident prevention at higher speeds - only 1 “Good” out of 10

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is updating its vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention test to address crashes that occur at higher speeds and those in which the struck vehicle is a motorcycle or large truck. Only one of the first 10 small SUVs evaluated earns a good rating.

I am curious to see where the xc40 lands on this

By “lands” do u mean after the crash?

But who’s to say that Saab didn’t land safe and sound on all 4, upright? :slight_smile:

Then I won’t ever crash at high speed.
Problem solved.

You may be parked when someone hits you at 100 mph. Does that count?

That was fast

Think actually enforcing current traffic laws and truly punishing distracted drivers/tailgaters/overly aggressive drivers would have far greater returns
