If you’re a committed SUV owner, then you’re already familiar with some of the common benefits of owning a Sports Utility Vehicle. They offer generous seating, which appeals to large families, are generally safer than smaller cars, and have more horsepower, as well as a variety of fuel-efficient options.
When picking your SUV, though, it’s important to be selective, which means focusing on safety over aesthetics.
According to recent crash tests, only two midsize SUVs earned top ratings in crash tests. The Chevrolet Equinox and the GMC Terrain, both products of GM (General Motors), have received the highest “good” rating, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Additionally, in tests of 2014 models, the Toyota Highlander earned the second-best “acceptable” rating.
Cars with “marginal” and “poor” ratings included the Jeep Cherokee, Toyota 4Runner, Ford Explorer, Kia Sorento, Mazda CX-P, and Honda Pilot.
This test, comprised of a series of six tests, was first established in 2012 and has challenged auto manufacturers to add safety devices and crash resistant features to their vehicles.
