The safest SUVs: Bigger isn’t better

Posted by admin  Published in Auto News

There’s always been a general consensus when it comes to safe vehicles that bigger is safer, but that’s really not the case. Not only is bigger not safer, in some cases it’s actually more dangerous to drive a larger vehicle. The Ford Excursion, for example, had 3 times the death rate of the smaller Excursion and twice that of the mid-sized Explorer (it’s now a discontinued model). To help us all figure that out Forbes has compiled all the data

from crash tryout ratings, available electronic stability control, and accident avoidance statistics to come up with a list of the 15 safest SUVs, and here are the top 5:

1) Acura RDX
2) Mercedes-Benz M-Class
3) Acura MDX
4) Honda Pilot
5) Hyundai Santa Fe
