The IIHS, U.S. agency that performs crash tests similar to EuroNCAP, highlighted the results of crash tests by the Honda Civic, the Volvo XC60, the Lincoln MKZ and the Mazda6.
The latest crash tests from the Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) in the United States, an independent organization funded by the insurance industry, have placed models like the Honda Civic three and five doors, the Volvo XC60, the Lincoln MKZ and among the safest Mazda6.
These five cars tested by IIHS were rated "Top Safety Pick +" to get good results in tests for frontal impact, side dump. The tests also included a new test that simulates an accident in which the front corner of the vehicle hits a tree or post. Remember that the latest modifications carried out by this organization have led to its crash tests are more stringent than the European entity performing the EuroNCAP.
The IIHS noted that the Honda Civic is the first sedan that Earns "Best Safety Pick +" due to "significant upgrade to its front structure", which improves the result in impact tests on the front corner.
The organization also noted that Volvo engineers have refined the XC60 the algorithm activates the side curtain airbag, which also has improved its performance in crash tests on the front corner.
