Only Volvo's S60 and TL won the coveted Acura good rating in the new Insurance Institute crash test Eight cars tested earned below average and good marginalia.
A new crash test by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has proved difficult for two thirds of the input range of luxury sedans of the organization tested.
Only the Volvo S60 and the Acura TL earned a good rating in the new small overlap test, the IIHS says is designed to simulate what happens when the front corner of a car collides with another vehicle or an object such as a tree or pole utility.
While the test deported traditional frontal crash - now called the moderate overlap test - simulates a collision with another vehicle at 40 mph, the new small overlap test simulates a collision at the same speed with a solid barrier, motionless New test spots 25 per cent of the tested vehicle front end to hit a rigid barrier height of 5 feet, compared to 40 percent of the front end removing a deformable barrier.
The video below provides an overview of the new crash test.
According to research, the new crash test simulates about a quarter of all accidents in the real world IIHS won t be abandoning the current style crash test of the institute, but it will use the new small overlap test as an additional measure vehicle safety and structural crashworthiness.
frontal crash tests are used by other organizations around the world, including the new car assessment program National Highway Traffic Safety Administration funded by the Federal and its counterparts in Europe, Japan and Australia Unlike NHTSA, the IIHS are not funded by the government; Institute derives its operating costs for the insurance industry.
The Infiniti G received an acceptable rating, while the Acura TSX, BMW 3 Series Lincoln MKZ and Volkswagen CC all achieved a marginal note Audi A4 Lexus Lexus IS and Mercedes-Benz C-Class classified at the bottom segment with the lowest score poorly All 11 vehicles tested were 2012 models agency, although the Lexus and Lincoln MKZ see significant changes for 2013.
In particular, the VW CC was the first vehicle to actually lose the door in IIHS crash test Lexus IS has undergone a major structural failure of the cockpit, and the dummy in the Lincoln MKZ has breached both the airbag and before the curtain bag.
IIHS said Leftlane in the past he considered marginal and poor to be essentially bad grades, and is even critical of vehicles that achieve acceptable scores New test results will be reflected in its price Top Safety Pick, which requires vehicles to receive good scores in each test only the S60 and TL, among the 11 entry-luxury cars tested, will qualify for 2013.
IIHS will soon start releasing the results of crash tests for other vehicles in the different market segments.
Nearly every new car performs well in other frontal crash tests conducted by the Institute and the federal government, but we still see more than 10,000 deaths in frontal collisions every year, IIHS president Adrian Lund of the said small overlap crashes are a major source of these deaths This new test program is based on years of analyzing real frontal collisions, then reproduce them in our crash test installation to determine how people are seriously injured and how cars can be designed to better protect them, we think this is the next step in improving frontal crash protection.
Automakers ace almost universally existing crash tests, IIHS something applauds But the new small overlap test is designed to be much more difficult, a move that hope institute will lead to even safer cars in the future that manufacturers Car seek Top Safety Pick rating.
As the pictures show, there are strong contrasts between the cars that have performed well in the test and those who performed poorly, especially the difference between how security cages cars held up the tottering first two images in our gallery above are senior Volvo S60, while the third and fourth of the poor performance Lexus iS We have also included a handful of other vehicles to show the intensity of the event.
