The Honda Accord outperformed other midsize cars in the updated moderate overlap front crash test, earning a rare good rating in the new, challenging evaluation focused on rear-seat protection.
Among the other six midsize cars tested, the Subaru Outback earns an acceptable rating. The Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry are rated marginal. The Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5 and Volkswagen Jetta are rated poor.
These results are valid only for models sold in the USA

Makes me feel so much better about buying a 23’ Accord Hybrid!
I already knew, saw years back 2017 i’d say when my College buddies drove to my place, they got into an accident, the Rav 4 had the most damage and declared total compared to the accord same model of of one of my friends car as well that got involved in the same accident in a 4 pin car crash by a truck behind the accord and the rav 4 in front of the accord.
It’s crazy how far cars have come in the past 25 years with safety features
Yeah it seems like everything used to be completely horrible and now it’s just “poor”.
Honda winning on this one!
Got to be honest, I would consider any of these, compared to where cars rated from the nineties and early 2000’s these all all seem great
Subaru should get POOR look where rear passenger's head went
The vehicle protected the dummy well, and the reason it got marked down is indeed because of where the dummy’s head went
How did the Subaru score acceptable? The rear pasagener smacked their head on the window sill, and their head went under the curtain, because there is no protection there, just a piece of cloth.
Actual measured forces probably show it wasn’t a serious impact. That and the head going under the airbag isn’t doing much.
@@calebj2886 Yes that and if you look at where the glass went, it went up and out, so it sort of "blew" out if you will. You're more likely to be injured by something else other than the rear window breaking like that (such as the headliner coming down when the airbag deploys or like in the case of the Honda, you bang your head on the top of the roof liner, which could be more serious than perhaps a few scratches or cuts from glass, which I don't think even happened here. But basically they assume that all glass will break anyway so it isn't really a factor to be tested (and in some cases, you want the glass to break). The only "window" that is of siginficance in a crash is the windshield.
Camry should have been poor since all that back glass shattered on the inside
I love my 2023 Honda accord ❤
Thank you very much!
The Outback did pretty good considering it's on an aging platform
Subaru rear passenger head went between side airbag and window it should get a POOR rating
So informative
3:43 The sonata did well
Best cresh test
Subaru should have been a FAIL the side airbag for rear occupant allowed the head to slip between airbag and door resulting in a serious injury
well according to actual measured data, there was no serious injury risk.
Not sure why the Jetta is here when it’s a compact car, the rest of the cars in this test are actually midsize and more similar in length/width to one another
Well I think the Jetta got heavier during the 2019 remodel, putting it in the Midsize sedan category
@@2019Q7Quattro the Jetta is still at least 200lbs lighter than all of the rest of the actual midsize sedans though
But that isn’t too much lighter than the rest
Jus amazing ❤
Frightening that the camerys back window shattered.
Cool music. 🎼
it’s Nihilism on I-10 by Amulets
Waoo it's a great idea to check a whickels....
Bruh the have the Subaru acceptable when the kids head ended up on the wrong side of the air bag
Damn. How the hell that the rear windshield on the Camry shatter from a front crash. That is deadly.
Now I will wait for the tests of Volvo, BMW, Mercedes.
It seems to me that Jetta swallowed the blow better, but there is a safety margin. Toyota - passengers are cut by the rear window, Honda - a very hard body blow, passengers flew up, Kia/Hyundai - it's just a misunderstanding!!! Subaru - the rear passenger's head is 100% torn off in an accident.
The wisdom from this is that the side airbags hurt the rear passenger more than help.
The Outback, the Accord, and the Altima are the only ones where the rear passenger didn't do _The Exorcist_ effect where the head spins completely around backwardand with the Outback it was because the rear passenger submarined under the side airbacg and came up between the airbag and the window.
The intro talked about our lives.
It's crazy that people want more SUVs but mid size cars are still safer.
why is the music SO SCARY
This would be my dream job 😊😊😊. I like to know how long time wise does it take to prepare one vehicle for a crash test ? Why don't we see more cars such as Bently ,Rolls Royce ,Ferraries ,Lamborghini, Porsche etc .
They need to crash it around 100 times to get accurate results so expensive cars aren’t really practical to crash test.
Those Cars are Expensive and there not really a car you see possibly every day
But it's boring.
@@RidgeMu Different opinions. And won’t it be fun to go to work to crash cars.
I’m just guessing but they don’t have unlimited money, so if they test cheaper cars they can test more of them more thoroughly, and those cars are much more common which means the tests will potentially save many more people from injury or death.
0:18 was that the gartic phone noise?
How much is the structural integrity affected by cutting a one-square-foot hole in the roof?
It would be negligible. The outer metal is mostly for looks, there’s cross structures under the sheet metal that provides the actual support.
The Jetta seems safer than the Camry, no glass shattered like the Camry, possibly harming someone very seriously
5:35 The Altima Was good
I’d take the Accord
I have an all original 1968 Chevy Impala (pillarless 4-door) that is family owned since day 1. I'm the 3rd gen to have it.
I watch stuff like this, where these cars are rated "poor" and think to myself....."well, shit, if I get into a crash like this with my Impala, I might as well drive with my belt off, I'm going to die anyways!"
For the record (if you know my car) I do at least wear the lap belt.
Doesn’t cutting a hole in the roof compromise the structure?
Sheetmetal only, not the frame (in theory, anyway).
How fast are they going ??
Im in the crash test land
Background music very annoying. I watched with the volume turned down.
Hi can you make a video about crashing a a truck covered with Line-x
Pls 🙏
There's gotta be a material that's more resistant to crashes🎯
There is, some older cars are made of very nice crash resistant materials, though most companies would rather use the cheaper option because that means they can pump out cars quicker ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it would also crash the repair industry they have if the cars were more resistant to damage so they prolly wont be using better material any time soon
@@SystemRadioStatic .....yup😏
@@SystemRadioStatic What? Newer cars are far safer than older ones. Crumple Zones exist so the car absorbs some of the energy from the crash.
The car’s structure needs to deform the right amount to absorb some of the crash energy, so less of it is transmitted to the passengers. If you made a car out of materials that don’t bend or break, then more of the energy would be transferred to the people, resulting in more risk of injury. I would rather injure my car than myself!
@@Sashazur makes sense....
Sucks how my car (KIA K5) Received a poor rating, I wonder if the trim I have (GT-Line AWD) would perform better than the LXS (base model) and trims under the GT-Lines, as well as my Fiancé’s car (Hyundai Sonata) earned a poor as well, but I think the trim she has (N-Line) would perform better than the SE (base model)
Serious question, why would the trim of the vehicle make any difference in the crash test? Aren’t the trims just luxury features?
Well I remember back with the Mitsubishi Galant in 2003 and you could only get side airbags on the highest trim level, the GT-LINE K5 is higher quality than the regular, although structural integrity might be the same as the LXS
How u liking ur K5 btw? I love the look of that car so I'm curious what owning one is like
The structure of the vehicle is the same no matter what trim. Unless a higher trim has more airbags or similar (which is unlikely these days), the crash results are going to be the same. But some higher trims may have collision avoidance or driver assistance features that help avoid or reduce the severity of a crash in the first place.
@@2019Q7QuattroNow-days, even the base model would have all the airbags, the trims are just for luxury features/more advanced safety features like lane-departure warnings, since it is the same safety-wise it would earn a good in the front seat, where you or your husband would be driving, but if you have any kids it might be a different from them, look at how either the dummy’s neck swings back and forth, or if its submarining. Sorry if it’s a long paragraph, just here to help.
Yea a Airbags
El ñiño de atras el subaru😢😢
Saw this Test, but with a Jetta involved and it out performed all of the other bigger cars
So the cars that did poorly probably did poorly because they weren’t designed with this test in mind. Similar to that small overlap test introduced a few years ago,p in which almost all cars failed or did poorly. So don’t read too much into this unless it’s a car that was released after this updated test was introduced.
The tests are designed to simulate real world crash scenarios. So, what you’re saying is that the cars that did poorly in this test did so because they were not designed with real world crash scenarios in mind.
@@ouch1011Yes that's what I'm saying. They don't get good ratings from this test also means in a real crash they will not perform as well as the "Good" cars.
But give them the next model generation where they know this is something they have to design for and the cars that are doing "Poor" or "Marginal" will do better and thus become safer in the real world.
That's what I mean by that.
❤❤❤🎉
FRONT RATING
POOR - KIA, HYUNDAI, VW
MARGINAL - TOYOTA, NISSAN
ACCEPTABLE - SUBARU
GOOD - HONDA
toyota, nissan, and vw especially need to do better. meanwhile hyundai/kia are dangerous as they've always been.
@@emikomina I still prefer to drive them since my life aint worth that much anyways lmao
something is seriously wrong with non-American car manufacturers selling cars in the U.S. once the pride of the automobile industry is faltering when it comes to safety & faltering bad . . .
Just saw the honda. What a joke the rear passenger hits the roof edge and it's the only one to get a good rating. Now I'm convinced it's a pay for rating system.
There are also criteria for evaluating the failure value if a mannequin hits its head on the interior. It would be GOOD to include that.
It could be, but I think part of it is these tests are all weighted. So for example, while hitting one's head on the roof/liner of the car in an accident sounds bad, what may be worse is someone having the lap belt slide up into their stomach (like they mentioned) and causing internal organ damage. The latter is probably more serious then perhaps a cut on the head or a concussion. The ratings are also a composite of many factors too, so particular rating (say front impact) may have "G" for everything else and maybe "Acceptable" for one smaller element, like the head thing, and still get a good "Rating" although I think in the updated rating system (which they changed around 2018-2020 I think) they use the lowest rating in the bunch for the overall rating, but there may still be "weight" applied to different aspects of each rating for each component.
Obviously, these vehicles are not running during the test. The transmission is in neutral, and there probably isn't any gas in the gas tank.
I've never seen testing with the vehicles running. It's always been done this way. They would no longer have control over the test environment.
@@rp42069check out old crash tests, there's a video of an actual real person driving the car and crashing it into another
If they had gas in the tank there would be a high risk of fire or fuel leaks. Sure those are things that it would be good to test for, but it would make testing much more expensive and dangerous. Most cars don’t explode in a crash so it’s probably not worth doing considering the increased problems in testing.
How does this work? Do you buy a bunch of brand new cars just to smash them ? What do you do with the damaged cars afterwards?
You can't be serious 🤦
@@Nicolas-cg2xx You can explain how it works or I can. Lol
Yes they buy new cars just to smash them. They just buy from dealers like anyone else, they don’t get the cars from the manufacturers since that might make it possible to cheat. I don’t know what they do with the wrecks afterwards but they almost certainly junk them; the damage is too great to try to fix them.
@Sashazur and its government funded, to help manufacturers identify and rectify the issues.
2:14 Seriously Toyota
2:28 I already hate Toyota but just look at the glass
😂😂😂lol..... when I go to lada 2107 and watch such crash tests😂😂😂😂😂
IIHS is clearly biased. The Subaru rear passenger was nearly ejected and gets an acceptable? Camry rear glass shatters moderate? Accord rear passenger bounces off the roof and gets a good? Must be those bright LED lights.
Its crazy how the Jetta is now considered midsized
what the hell
Actually, what's surprising is how many cars have made it into this class. What used to be full-size cars 30 years ago, are now mid-sized. The other thing is that the vast majority of cars have gotten larger as the years have gone one. Look at the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, etc. They are about the same size as a late 90's TAurus (which is considered a mid-sized car), even though rental agencies for example, still classify Corollas and Civics as compact or small cars (but that's just how they classify different sized cars).
Its 2023, These cars Should BE BETTER!!😱
😅😅
In the Honda, didn't the passenger hit it's head above while going back? The seatbelt didn't keep her safe. How does that get a good rating?
The seatbelt stayed on the hips, the dummy didn’t slide in the seat out of position, and i’m betting the seatbelt slack allowed for a little less sudden force change.
The Outback is an SUV tho💀
Hondas have always been safer.
poor hyundai - kia...sonata, k5 worst
Honda on top as usual. Just another reason to not buy a Kia or Hyundai
no it s not is subaru😂
All are fake likes and subscribers. They told me to like it and they will pay me but they didn't.. they disappointed me I'm unlikeing all videos now
Honda ftw! Theres a reason the Korean brands are cheaper!
