Headlights and Small-Overlap Front Crash Tests Shorten List of 2018 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Award Winners
– New standards for headlights and front-end crashes are making it harder for new cars and trucks to receive an insurance-industry-backed group’s highest safety rating. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave just 15 vehicles its highest rating of Top Safety Pick+ for 2018, compared with 38 for 2017 and 48 for 2016. – […]
Lane-departure warnings really are saving lives, says IIHS
The prospect of being involved in a head-on collision is horrific. Even the small overlap crash test videos give us the heebie-jeebies, and that’s with a dummy behind the wheel. Safety systems like lane-departure warnings are meant to help prevent these nasty accidents and according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), they’re working. […]
2018 VW Atlas, 2017 Mini Countryman net IIHS Top Safety Pick Awards
A pair of crossovers, one small and the other enormous, managed to walk away from Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing with 2017 Top Safety Pick awards. Both the 2017 Mini Countryman and 2018 Volkswagen Atlas received ratings of “Good” for their performance in the IIHS‘ small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength […]
IIHS Crash-Tests Large Cars: Lincoln, Mercedes, and Toyota Get Top Marks; Tesla, Ford, and Chevrolet Fall Short
– Small-overlap front crash tests and inadequate headlights tripped up half of the six large sedans recently tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The Lincoln Continental, the Mercedes-Benz E-class, and the Toyota Avalon were given the group’s highest rating of Top Safety Pick+, while the Chevrolet Impala, the Ford Taurus, and the Tesla Model S failed to achieve […]
Watch the Chevy Bolt earn IIHS 'Top Safety Pick' crash rating
Last week, we saw the Tesla Model X earn five-star crash ratings across the board from the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA). Now, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has smashed up a number of Chevrolet Bolt EVs in the name of safety, and filmed the tests for our sadistic viewing pleasure. The Bolt’s […]
IIHS Says Most Mid-Size SUVs’ Headlights Are Dim
– Automotive headlamps have been around since the late 1880s, so you’d think automakers would have had time to get them right. But new cars and trucks continue to fare poorly in evaluations by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The latest segment tested by the insurance-industry-backed group is mid-size SUVs. Only two of the 37 vehicles […]
IIHS Wants Guards on the Sides of Semis to Prevent Roof-Peeling Crashes
– When semitrailer trucks and passenger vehicles collide, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says, mandatory under-ride guards on the sides of tractor-trailer rigs could save lives. The trucking industry, though, says a better solution would be to hasten the rollout of advanced safety technology. – This spring, the IIHS has been dramatizing its argument […]
Tesla Model S Misses Top Score in IIHS Small-Overlap Front Crash Test
– Engineers working on electric vehicles tend to talk about the freedoms afforded by getting rid of that big, hulking piece of metal—the conventional internal-combustion engine—in front of the passenger compartment. It allows not just smarter packaging but extra space for crash-energy absorption, they boast, making for better occupant protection. However, the results for one […]
