Kia telluride crash test rating6/12/2023 ![]() Like the original side test, the new test represents the type of crash that occurs when two crossing vehicles collide in an intersection.Ī 2011 study of 10 years’ worth of crash data found that a driver of a vehicle with a good rating in the original test is 70 percent less likely to die in a left-side crash than a driver of a vehicle with a poor rating. IIHS introduced the new, tougher side test to address higher-speed crashes that continue to cause fatalities. “These results will help confirm the adjustments they need to make to other vehicles going forward.” “It’s encouraging to see so many midsize SUVs from different automakers earn good ratings in this more challenging evaluation,” says IIHS Senior Research Engineer Becky Mueller, whose research formed the foundation for the new test protocol. When IIHS announced the first ratings in the new test in October, only one out of 20 small SUVs managed a good rating, while half were rated marginal or poor. Six others are rated marginal: the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Wrangler 4-door, Kia Telluride and Nissan Murano. Two more, the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse, earn acceptable ratings. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earn good ratings: the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4, the only electric vehicle in the group. ![]() ARLINGTON, Va., (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - More than half the midsize SUVs tested earn good ratings in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s new side-impact evaluation. ![]()
