New IIHS_autosafety side-impact crash test shows troubling sedan, wagon results:
"We expect automakers to respond to our updated side test, providing increased protection for occupants and producing safer vehicles for consumers," IIHS president David Harkey said in a video about the new test results.

IIHS's new side test uses a 4200-pound movable barrier programmed to strike the driver's side of the vehicle being tested at 37 miles per hour. Previously, the barrier weighed 3300 pounds and hit the car at 31 mph. When the test began,"Many SUVs on the road were close to that weight, but they have gotten much heavier since then," IIHS said in 2019.
The new test barrier's larger size and higher speed mean that it generates 82 percent more energy than in the original test. Using two female dummies sitting in the driver's seat and in the rear seat behind the driver's seat, the new test can better determine how much cabin intrusion might happen in an actual crash. IIHS said the female crash test dummies have been used since 2003 and were chosen for this test to see how well the side airbag coverage works for smaller occupants.
