 Most cars fail the new sedans crash test



 There aren't many midsize sedans on the market today, but with new benchmarks set for the new IIHS sedans crash test, it seems that most of these cars don't perform well in In the event of a side collision accident on the ground In this case, what is meant in reality is when the accident includes a collision with a SUV or a crossover SUV, because these cars are the most prevalent on the roads today. The new sedans side crash test uses a heavier 4,200 lb (1,905 kg) crash barrier instead of 3,300 lb (1,497 kg) in the previous test, and the crash speed has been raised to 37 mph (60 km/h) from 31 mph (50 km/h) in the previous test, and with these changes the crash force increased by 82% compared to the old method. These changes were made after information recorded in real accidents showed more damage than expected based on the tests in place, and IIHS says the new updated test better simulates a side collision with a typical SUV.
