Nine vehicles — the 2021 Audi Q3, Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Venza and Volvo XC40 — earned “acceptable” ratings from IIHS. Eight others — the Chevrolet Equinox, Ford Escape, GMC Terrain, Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Compass, Jeep Renegade, Kia Sportage and Lincoln Corsair — earned “marginal” ratings.
The 2021 Honda HR-V and 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse earned “poor” ratings.
“Obviously, these results aren’t great, but they’re in line with what we expected when we adopted this more stringent test,” said Becky Mueller, IIHS senior research engineer whose research was used to design the new test protocol.
