Wow on my 19 Forester Touring the front passengers get the IIHS Safety plus award, but the rear seats only get a Marginal. Hopefully the redesigned 25 Forester will get a Top Safety award for ALL passengers
Volvo for Life. always ahead with safety. other manufacturers never do anything until it becomes a test. Volvo was ready for the marginal overlap years before they even tested and more
the fact most vehicles with seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters both in the front and back perform better, shows how effective and important these systems are, i hope every manufacturer takes action quickly. fitting these systems doesn't require any change to the car's structure therefore it's a easy add-on but it could safe a lot of lives.
mazda already did this with the 2023 cx-5. the 2021 cx-5 got a poor rating, but without changing anything related to the car's structure or design, they added pretensioners and load-limiters to the rear seats and now it gets a good rating
Seeing how much the rear seat back moved without any stress on it is worrying. If someone is sat in the middle and wearing their seat belt, the strain on the rear seat mechanism would be far greater - would it hold the individual safely?
Ok so is no one else asking why the lazy IIHS has not done this in crash tests before? I just hate how they are acting in this video like its the most REVOLUTIONARY thing to test safety for rear passengers, as that is where children are suppose to ride until they are old enough to not be injured by the passenger airbag. What a bunch of idiots.
@@Pepsicola48 the reason is the regulations changed, this is an old video with the original regulations. with these old regulations the rav4 got an acceptable rating, but with the new regulations it got a marginal
It's time to make the foreign companies pay higher taxes and start reserving and making our jobs in America better retirements and good benefits and good pay an hour for American brands I think the Jeep Renegade did way better than his foreign cars anyways
the best ? volvo xC40 ?

Volvo es de una plataforma china, déjate de tonterías
Must improve curtain airbags
also add pretensioners to rear seatbelts like volvo
My mom has a ford escape

An observation I've had , of all the vehicles that scored poorly , None of these have rear pre tensioner seat belts .
Are you blind? They obviously do, but ik the iihs is over or underracting every time never a fair result.
@MIster.... last time I checked my eyes were fine . As I said just an observation
Distinct difference between them
@@Michael-he2pwI am sorry, I sometimes let my 13 yr old on youtube he probably wrote this.
@@MIster.... Sound's more like a 9 year old😂
Humbly I think they should do the test with the engine running at the speed that would be at this speed to test for flames or not
This video changed my mind and I bought a Ford Kuga (aka Discovery in US) instead of a Kia Sportage. Why there is no Mercedes or BMW in the test?

that's a great observation, maybe they should also add a test where they test the rear bench seat's strenght

Poor is what you expect on a test NOT on an Investment to protect your Family!!
The CX 5 😐
what a load of ............. understanding the results is more important then the results and you are far from the facts

Its a volvo, ofc its the nokia of all cars
The Toyota RAV4 got a Marginal Rating not an Acceptable Rating
You have problem with eyes

Schade, dass es keine Anzeige der Geschwindigkeit gibt, mit der die Tests durchgeführt wurden!
40 mph/64 kmh

It was originally rated Acceptable, but the rating metrics changed, that’s why it got Marginal
