Video : Small Cars Score Well in Crash Tests

New crash tests show improvements in small-car safety

Small cars are safer than they used to be, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The safety research group, which is funded by the insurance industry, plans to report today that six of 13 small cars it recently crash-tested received its best overall rating of “top safety pick.”

They are...
The Ford Focus
The 4-door Honda Civic,
The Hyundai Elantra
The Lexus CT 200h
The Nissan Juke
And the Toyota Prius

Researchers ran the cars through a battery of tests, including front, side, rollover and rear impact crashes.
They say none of the 13 cars earned a poor rating in any test. That is a big change from the last few years when small cars struggled to earn top
ratings.
