I survived a freak crash in a Subaru outback, both sides of car were completely crushed , 4 wheels and axles crushed due to being catapulted sideways. No air bags deployed , no damage to cabin whatsoever. My wife and I walked away without a scratch. Incidentally , despite both sides bring crushed, doors on both passenger and driver sides opened without a problem. Did I mention all the safety features mentioned in the article are included standard all for 35K. The car was totaled but I went right out and bought another .
FOR THE MONEY I'll Take the ACURA MDX. Volvo seemingly cannot match the MDX in handling or features for the money. ACURA's "Super Handling AWD" system is excellent, even better than AUDI's system.
I was involved in a high speed crash with multiple cars, unfortunately 2 people died and others with life threatening injuries. I was in a 2020 Lexus RX 350 my impact speed was 110 kph, my SUV had the most impact of all and the most damage I walked away with a blood nose, sore ribs and slight concussion my passengers were taken to hospital for medical check up but know one had any serious injuries and didn't require to stay, 7 other people were taken away in Ambulances. 3 SUV'S 3 sedans and a van. I'll pick Lexus thanks.
My 2017 expedition has had one problem since I’ve owned it and I’ve put 64k miles on it. Maybe ford escapes/edges are better from the 2000s but the expedition? Not a chance

Both Volvo XC90 and XC60 have the same safety features but the you’re saying one is safer than the other?. I’d say the bigger vehicle should be safer than the smaller one. Actually, all these lux suvs have the same safety features- some have fancier sounding name but these so called safety features have same functionality. Fun fact: Nobody died yet in a Volvo XC90 and Lexus 450.
What’s a Lexus 450? LX? I drive the SPA xc90 D5 , turbos are dead at 130k km. Luckily I have extended warranty.... a bit unreliable.... Lexus for the win
Not sure about that...Saw an XC90.hit a truck and inflict serious damage on it..A Merc is safe. But, not in that league...Had both marques..Volvo is better built.
What a crock! The title says "Safest SUVs" but the entire video centers on "Luxury SUVs". The it entirely leaves out some of the safest SUVs on the market. No LEXUS, Genesis, Honda, Toyota, Subaru or Tesla? This isn't even based on 2021 models as it constantly is referencing 2020 ratings. With the immense number of complete redesigns for 2021, 2020 ratings are utterly irrelevant.
That’s a Ford Explorer, but as I mentioned on the video, Ford Explorer and Aviator both use the same Ford U1 platform. Aviator has more upscale interior and outer body design. Both vehicles have the same crash test rating.
I am still wondering , why did I watched this video , it’s just shown up to my you tube app randomly , before making videos these people need to do some researches . There are so many luxury brands they stand way far superior in crash test
There are way more affordable suv's that are just as safe if not more safe like the mazda cx-5 for one and is much more reliable than most of the vehicles on this list so its really a very poor and rich people biased video. Just because its expensive doesn't make it a great vehicle.
That’s why you shop around for a 3-4yrs old or newer with low miles. Let the first owner eat the depreciation. Just bought a 2019 MB GLC 300 with 15,000 miles on it for $28,000 still has 3 yrs left on the 5yr/unlimited mileage warranty.
@@V_For_Vigilante you act like I didn’t spend 6 months looking for the best deal I could find for the model I have with the accessories I got. A damn good deal now I just need to hope it last better than most. I also plan to not go by their 10,000 mile service plans and do them every 5000. Hopefully that will help with the maintenance. Pay a little more in oils changes and etc.. to hopefully avoid the more expensive work down the road. I also was able to get the stupid idle shutoff and restart at every damn red light function turned off. Hopefully that helps protect the engine too. Man I spent 6 months driving my wife crazy because I wanted the best deal I could get.

My friend walked away in similar situation. That caused me to buy one for myself.
That’s good but I would be troubled by the side impact airbags not deploying.
Subaru Outback also has the lowest death rates (iihs published) in non-luxury segment, almost an exception. All safety features minus the luxury.
What year model? What trim?
Sounds like a post from Subaru’s social marketing team
I love all these SUVs, thank you so much for sharing!
Sounded like a luxury brand commercial.
It is indeed.
I was about to say....
My 2020 Rav4 came with almost all these safety features standard for thousands less and will outlast pretty much all these suv's.
I agree that Japanese & Korean cars are very well equipped but they are not in the same league that's why people are willing to pay so much more them.
@@Lotus.F i agree with you on that
Good choice, great family suv
Quit lying
I'm confused @1:57 you're reviewing the Aviator but the vehicle is marked 2020 Ford Explorer - are these vehicles exactly the same?

Lexus cars are not safe from what I hear Volvo and Tesla r the safest
Where are subarus? Are you really talking about safety without a subaru?
Sorry our Subaru is not luxury level enough to be on there
NO TATA
You know there’s a strong bias when they completely ignore the perfect safety scores of all the Tesla Vehicles.
righttt
Teslas aren't SUVs
@@JHJones-nq5we ???
Teslas are useless for most ppl in the world
Nice, a video for rich people. Noted: not for poor people😅. Cool video though.
I am not rich and I just bought a used 2004 Volvo. Mostly for its safety record.
So true;less affordable SUVs offer less protection for its owners 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Fuck the poor class right, I was trying to research and should have expected top tier protection for the upper middle class🙄
literally two years later in 2023 not a single one of these models even made the top 30 safety picks in the IIHS or the ENCAP
IIHS and NCAP are not be all and end all
When you're paid by a car manufacturer, you tend to "forget" to include the competition which is much better than your product you review.
This is also a list of unreliable suv that are endless money pits after a 3 to 4 years of ownership.
Not the Acura.
Truth
Yes, shitty vehicles.
They are cars, not EFTs lol
Yes, wallet has loads of accidents with this list!😁
Going to have to add a Tiger Woods Genesis GV80 to your list.🤔😉
Rotl..All his previous cars, too..Mercs, SUV his ex wife golf clubbed, all his golf buggies etc..Add to this list
The Aviator is one impressive car inside and out with quality materials used and does not lack behind one bit to it's European rivals.
Yet it’s the worst ranked vehicle here. It’s obviously shit.
@@Jacobcrane777 stfu
Ford expedition is the equivalent of the aviator. I'd really like one. From the early 2000's.

Where is the actual hero for safety? Subaru?
What is Subaru?
1:51 that's a ford explorer it says on the door
I’d take a Volvo station wagon over all of these SUVs.

True . Sedans or station wagons are the best body type for a car , much safer than SUV or pick up trucks
I've wondered about that myself.
I agree. I don't get the SUV craze and why people find them so desirable.
True, people are thinking that SUVs are safe because look massive and big but is only illusion of safety.
Use the thick metal and hard iron to make a better body chassis
No BMW ?
Can the driver override the automatic braking?
Why would you want to turn it off ?
@@leonmarcusdavison roadkill🤪🤪🤪
If you mean front assist, yeah in my Skoda Octavia I can deactivate all safety features, such as front assist and lane assist.
I prefer first a Mercedes Benz then Acura and lastly Volvo XC 90
what about lexus?
Not gonna lie the Lincoln Aviator went from looking like an SUV to a station wagon.
Having common sense is the safest way to drive around
I don’t see my tank on here
I didn't see my G-wagon 😳

wow!!! the Merc GLE450 is even safer than the Volvo XC90... no doubt! we had one, the Merc GLE450 AMG Line... perfect SUV
No Way
Not sure about that...Saw an XC90.hit a truck and inflict serious damage on it..A Merc is safe. But, not in that league...Had both marques..Volvo is better built.
How can a car with a couple of "acceptable" ratings get a perfect score...obviously this is highly bias and delusional report.
These 'safe' SUVs are getting way too many extra points for being hyper Tech
Quite strange to show a Ford suv crash test instead of an Aviator
How much are these vendors paying the safety committee? Lexus is not even in the list.
It's a good thing there weren't any Japanese SUVs on this list as they would have taken all the top places.

So in other words if your rich you can be safe
They could have offered me the car instead of destroying it. What a pity!
Well ya of course the electric car is the safest. It sits at a charger all day or cruises around at 20 mph looking for one.
