- Only three of seven midsize cars tested earn good or acceptable ratings in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s updated side crash test.
List of tested SUVs:
Toyota Camry
Chevrolet Malibu
Nissan Altima
Honda Accord
Volkswagen Jetta
Hyundai Sonata
Subaru Outback
The Subaru Outback is the only midsize car to earn a good rating. With somewhat higher levels of occupant compartment intrusion, the Hyundai Sonata and Volkswagen Jetta manage acceptable ratings.
Overall, this initial group of midsize cars did not perform as well as the first batches of small and midsize SUVs evaluated earlier. One reason could be their lower ride height.
"With vehicles that sit lower to the ground, the striking barrier hits higher on the door panel,” says IIHS President David Harkey. “That potentially puts sedans and wagons at a disadvantage in this evaluation but reflects what happens in a real-world crash when these vehicles are struck by a higher-riding pickup or SUV.”
The head-protecting airbags for the driver and rear passenger performed well in the Outback, Sonata and Jetta, contributing to a low risk of head and neck injuries for occupants in both seating positions. However, injury measures were somewhat elevated for the driver’s pelvis and rear passenger’s torso in the Jetta and the rear passenger’s pelvis in the Sonata.
The Honda Accord earns a marginal rating, and the Chevrolet Malibu, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry earn poor ratings.
There was moderate intrusion of the B-pillar into the occupant compartment of the Accord. Injury measures for the driver’s pelvis were somewhat elevated, and the driver’s head moved downward past the side curtain airbag to contact the windowsill during the crash.
The Altima and Malibu showed substantial intrusion into the occupant compartment, but the safety cage of the Camry held up well. Injury measures indicated a high risk of torso and pelvis injuries for the driver in the Altima, a moderate risk of torso and pelvis injuries for the driver and high risk of pelvis injuries for the rear passenger in the Camry, and a high risk of head or neck injuries for the driver in the Malibu. In all three vehicles, the heads of either the driver or rear passenger dummy or both slipped below the side curtain airbag to contact the windowsill.
IIHS developed the updated side crash test after research showed that many of the real-world side impacts that still account for nearly a quarter of passenger vehicle occupant fatalities are more severe than the original evaluation.
The updated side crash test uses a heavier barrier traveling at a higher speed to simulate the striking vehicle. The new barrier weighs 4,200 pounds - close to the weight of today’s midsize SUVs - and strikes the test vehicle at 37 mph, compared with a 3,300-pound barrier traveling at 31 mph in the original evaluation.
For now, the updated test is not included in the IIHS award criteria. However, starting in 2023, a good or acceptable rating will be required for the lower-tier TOP SAFETY PICK award and a good rating will be needed for the higher-tier TOP SAFETY PICK+.
All seven of these vehicles earn good ratings in the original side test.

The comparison should have been with the Subaru Legacy sedan not the Outback Wagon/SUV variant to be completely fair to the other sedans.
Subaru Outback is the exact same unibody and frame as a Subaru legacy. Thats why the test is the same.
@@justinnicholson4906 However it’s also raised several inches from the Legacy, you can see the bumper protrusion from the ram hitting just above the rocker panel on the Outback VS. further up the door on most of the other sedans. I’m no expert with this but that seems like it would just naturally provide an advantage in this scenario.
@@Poopsticle_256 The difference in suspension is only about 2 inches. That cant be accounted for in these tests regardless because these crash test cars are typically bare bones. Aka, they remove the engine, transmission and other components because it doesn't make any sense to destroy them in these tests. But either way, the ride height will be changed due to that. There are certain cost cutting methods that just can't be worked around, making all tests unfair to an extent. Not to mention hitting higher up, especially in a subaru with the locking pegs on the doors, should reduce the impact by using the door as a crumple zone.
@@justinnicholson4906 I suppose so, but when it’s a comparison between multiple different vehicles in a similar size category, it just seems off to me. Also, while hitting higher on the door would likely absorb more energy in an impact, wouldn’t it also increase the intrusion into the cabin, as opposed to essentially hitting the floorpan? Genuine question there
@@Poopsticle_256 Certainly could, but subaru doors act as steel cables when impacted. They have a peg that allows them to become under incredible tension to keep from coming to far into the cabin. The only reason they used the outback here is because it is nearly identical to the legacy, so ir doesn't make sense to use a legacy, and an outback for all of the crash test. Because keep in mind, this is just a few tests out of hundreds.
The Chevy Malibu Crash was particularly shocking. Think twice about choosing it as your next rental.
The latest crash test regulations have been upgraded. The Malibu platform stays in 2015. It is an older version than other cars. However, when looking at actual accident cases, Malibu drivers say that they are all fine and that Malibu is strong. You can't judge a car just by looking at the iihs video. And Korean cars are for both domestic and for export use, and the external use is manufactured to pass the test in accordance with safety regulations.
And I jus bought a 2021 Malibu 2 months ago 🤷🏽♀️😂
I can attest to this. I was recently in a pretty bad accident in my 2019 Malibu and only walked away with a few bruises
Tbh, I did not expect the Camry to be rated so low
I did, Noticed how the Hyundai had a better time? its all because Hyundai hired a huge bunch of the Toyota Engineers to help make their brand the premium brand it is now. There might be a day when someone asks you want planet you were born on if you think Toyota is reliable, that's not today but if they keep going down hill they will ruin their reputation and eventually a huge chunk of the market share as a lot of automotive manufactures are looking to regicide them from their throne
How? That's 1 of the worst new cars made.
Almost bought one 2023 camry hybrid. Thank god after watching this! No thanks!
Malibu is just pure death
it's because they're Lower Sedans, the Subaru is a bit higher off the ground so it gets hit different.
Yes the Subaru has a greater ground clearance which means the rocket panel is higher and more leveled with the crash bar of a t-bond vehicle. So it provides a greater resistance. And Subaru does not position Outback as a full size sedan.
Yeah it’s a station wagon. I guess they chose the outback instead of the Legacy because the Outback is more popular, and there are pretty much no other affordable Wagons sold in the US so it makes a more interesting watch.
The greater ground clearance on the Subaru Crosstrek did not help its ratings, it received a poor.
😢I just had car accident crashed by BMW X6 by side. My 2016 mini Cooper clubman has way more better than any one of those vehicles in the video. My mini was hit and slipped all most 2-3 meter. But My windows still well, only huge dent on driver side , and both front and left side airbags came out. My mini were diagnosed totally loss. Sad for this. I drove it more than 7 years. So So love my mini Cooper, mini as strong as a tank ❤❤thx !
Mashina olishda eng muhum jihat bu kuzuf tayota camry men oylagandek natija ko'rsata olmagandan afsusdaman videorolik uchun rahmat foydali video bo'ldi xamma uchun❤
That Subaru should be in a separate video with wagons and SUVs. But we do see that a slightly lift vehicle may do better at this test because more of the frame is in the way. One I am interested to see and may do better is the new Toyota Crown. The lifted sedan may score just as well as the Subaru. Just saying. Even if these sedans aren't doing so well with this new test, personally I'd still get one over a crossover or an SUV due to fuel efficiency, simplicity, practicality, and space (as in, I don't take up space)
And same to Jetta, it has shorter wheel base, so it should be a lil bit stronger in side hit
The slightly lifted Crosstrek did not do better and got a poor rating.
This is an unfortunate direction that cars are heading. Because of safety and love of SUVs/Trucks, vehicles on the road are getting heavier than 15 years ago. The leads to the National Highway authority to adjust the crash test to suit today's real-life-scenario. In respond, automakers will have to make their cars stronger and thus heavier which leads to ever heavier cars into the future. Then the IIHS will change the crash rules to be even more stringent. This cycle will continue to make vehicles heavier on the road.
@@adhirsh_ I suppose when battery tech improves and can be lighter then we could see cars losing weight again. automaker would love to reduce weight as that will reduce cost.
Cars like EV weight more than 2 tons and go 0to60 in 3 seconds in SUV.
@@adhirsh_ I prefer low cars because they handle corners better.
The IIHS has always slander to the Camry.
And this VDO is trying to encourage you to buy the SUVs.
Yup. Wanna guess how much a Hummer EV weighs?
Well over 9000lbs as weighed and tested by some reviewers and magazines
@@adhirsh_ just walk
The intro has a lovely cadence
Jetta being C-class performed better than most of D-class cars
price performance car
good job for subaru team, but i would like to see mazda, kia and volvo
Ooh I expect great results from Volvo
@@mravocadoman2904 me too, but i would like to see too
@@mravocadoman2904 I hope so too but the xc40 got an acceptable rating for updated side impact.
Mazda discontinued its mid sized sedan… you saw the Kia’s results… the K5 is a mechanical clone to the Sonata… and the Volvo is a luxury car.
@@CarlosJFM96 the Mazda is winner
Volkswagen 🔥🔥
Yeah, since jetta moved to MQB I assume this also applies to my mk7 GTI. The German stuff is great for safety.
Subaru legacy also got a good rating in later testing. Outback and legacy have the exact same platform so it makes sense they performed in the same way
Don’t understand the Subaru isn’t a sedan, & it’s higher off the ground. Can’t compare with sedans or same class.
I love the crash sound
for some reason I find it funny that the ramming vehicle has American racing wheels
What is the save SUV or vehicle?
It’s fitting that the crash tester has mustang wheels
💀💀💀
what is the black one without window, that seems solid, it hit 6 car and still work well
Why outback and not legacy?
Everyone including the Iihs forgot it existed
The outback is essentially just a wagon legacy
@@ashercinemayt All that means is it's slightly lifted. It still looks like a wagon instead of a traditional SUV like a Forester or Accent
@AsherCinemaYT
The Legacy is a midsize sedan. Every other car tested here is a midsize sedan.
THANK YOU!
holy crap, 37mph is not that fast and it does that much damage. 50mph pretty a goner
The cart with moving barrier has best safety. )
doing crash tests sounds like a really fun job
Yep bro i wish i also get a job of something like that imagine how relaxing it is
Until you realize the car that did bad is the same make and model of your own car.
Соната браво 👏🏼
Even tho Jetta was smaller than a lot of the competitors and isn’t even in the same category as most of the competitors it did better than most
Definitely. hope Passat would perform better
So glad to own a Subaru.
I’m gonna hopefully work here one day
Malibu🔥😱
Increasing side safety of cars creates other safety problems because of thickening of pillars. Increased weight leads to worse fuel consumption, already degraded because of emissions controls. Instead, decreasing the threat of modern supersized pickup trucks and SUVs through tax/lincensing or simply enforcing the existing laws against illegal truck modifications would be a better strategy.
I’ve noticed the thicker pillars make it harder to see crossing pedestrians when I’m turning.
@@Sashazur Tried driving a hyundai elantra and the thing has thicker pillars on the sides of the windshield than most 2000’s cars, and the thing is a mid-sized sedan
What a destruction
I thought the Jetta was considered a compact 🤔
It is and out performed them
Визуально sonata winner, особенно подушка сиденья заднего пассажира отработала отлично

@@bennyurquidez6916 субик, однозначно
I prefer low cars because they handle corners better.
The IIHS has always slander to the Camry.
And this VDO is trying to encourage you to buy the SUVs.
The Camry has rear passenger airbags and the structure didn't collapse much. How can it be poor?
Yeah, I always thought that IIHS don't like camry... look at the accord, much different scores
Malibu is literally a moving coffin.
Who provides the car ?
This is probably this best job
thank you for your work
Waiting for the Accord, Sonata and Malibu to come with AWD soon. (Since Camry, Outback and Altima already have them)
I don’t think accords will ever switch to awd and definitely not rwd
@SwiftRaven they will since Toyota do it. Why would they let their competitors gained all the AWD customer's and sit there and do nothing
Тип субару по безопасности лучше всех я так понял
Залізо «найкраще» мають. Досвід людини, яка займалася кузовним ремонтом авто. Також не знав
Не совсем, субару в этот тест не вписывается, это машина с высоким клиренсом, основной удар пришёлся в порог, самую сильную часть авто, соответственно такого сильного удара по стойке не было.
Джета также сюда не подходит, здесь должен быть Пассат вместо неё, Джета меньше сравниваемых авто и можно заметить, как удар пришёлся на заднюю стойку автомобиля.
6:10 Why did the brake light come on?
I don't understand what is the reference point?
قزاز البنوراما في السوناتا ما تكسر 😐
How come they don’t do tests where they allow a car to hit another car? That’s real life situations, I had a 2007 Toyota Camry and it held up really well. It was the special edition
Просто у Субару большая часть удара приходится на порог, потому что он выше, а у седанах порог не задействован.
Bruh ain’t no way that Honda didn’t get a poor rating 💀 head and knee
Malibu 👍

Especially the Malibu but the Camry said it was good for the 2017

Same, I want to work here
I could use one of those cars for my uni travels u know….
Джетта👍
I own that same model Camry
Outback is winner
These tests are somewhat deceptive. The battering ram that is suppose to be a car going at 35 mph does not have energy absorbent crumple zones or bumper. Just some solid material. If they wanted more credibility they would have used other cars to hit the parked test car.
스바루는 차체가 높아서 밑에 까지 박고 다른건 다 세단이라 밑에 충격 흡수가 안된거잔어 그나저나 소나타 의외네
그래봤자 판매율 ㅈ망
AMAZING))
Honda❤️😍
IDK that the Camry did any worse than say the Civic. And the Subaru is in a totally different class. So basically all the cars tested here were Acceptable at best, and half fell into the poor category. I think they should rethink their testing strategy (or rather their round-up and how they score). This also sounds like it's some "independent" testing lab, not one like the NHTSA which does their own testing and has their own scoring (although maybe somewhat similar) and the one that most people go by. The issue with these tests is there can be variables that are not accounted for (such as the exact size and weight of the simulated vehicle that hits the car).
Because Subaru is higher, there's a video about suv crash test with higher car.
Камри сила
It’s not a justly test because Subaru was a suv and other brands were sedans
Of course body type is important to safety rate
Hate to say it but the test have the impact zone set way too low. just take a look at those new suv, the top of hood is taller than the whole sedan. Test result changes dramatically with different impact zone.
I believe thats kinda the point
Passat, Legacy and K5??
Subaru is not sedan and also Jetta is not midsize . It must be Passat
Toyota Camry👍👍👍👍👍
Camry!👍
"This SUV Im comparing to sedans did better than the sedans when hit by a pick-up truck analog"
Yeah, no shit. Someone got paid by Subaru.

Самый безопасный это внедорожники крузак например 200
Не давно на крузаке на повороте нырнули в реку дорога была ровная и сухая
no mazda 6???
Почему не Пассат а жетта? Почему субару внедорожник а не седан?? Все автомобили должны были в одной линейки, это будет чётко и справедливо
The IIHS is a American owned company and Volkswagen doesn’t sell the Passat in the United States anymore.
@@LG_smart_fridge I'm not speak English 😬
@@user-ok3jb4ep2s IIHS - это американская компания, и Volkswagen больше не продает Passat в Соединенных Штатах.
@@LG_smart_fridge почему среди седанов субару внедорожник??? 🤔
@@user-ok3jb4ep2s
Subaru Outback - универсал, созданный на базе Subaru Legacy. Однако Subaru Outback предназначен для бездорожья, поэтому у него более высокий дорожный просвет. Однако это не внедорожник, хотя и может так выглядеть.
This test wasn’t reliable at all. The Subaru Outback is a crossover not a sedan, and all the sedans were in different trim level. There should be fairness in those aspects.

I think Sonata is the winner .🤔 subaru is suv not sedan .😁
I think so too. Subaru is crossover SUV
У соната даже руль сломался 👎Волксваген топ!
Subaru is a STATION WAGON, not an SUV
Subaru is a glorified AWD station wagon, they get away with SUV/ CUV because of slightly lifted suspension.
whatever you wanna call the Subaru, fine. I call it absolutely hideous.
Camry.001 👍
