It’s not the size. It’s how safe it is

Bigger cars are safer, right? All that weight and metal should be more than enough of a cocoon should the worst happen. While it’s understandable to have that perception, a large, make that gigantic, vehicle isn’t always a guarantee.

All three also performed great in the side impact test. The IIHS had recently implemented the use of a heavier impact sled to represent a side crash with a large vehicle. Thanks to their size, the Expedition, Tahoe, and Wagoner shrugged off the test.Out of all the SUVs tested, it was the Jeep Wagoneer that came out on top. It was rated Good in all crash tests, as well as in the advanced driver assist system department.

On the flipside, the moderate overlap and side impact tests were rated Good in the Expedition. It also claws back points thanks to its effective advanced driver assists. Headlights, while not as good as the Wagoneer, were still acceptable by the agency’s standards. It’s worth pointing out that the Expedition is the oldest of the three and we should expect better results in the updated model.
