 [According to IIHS chief operating officer Adrian Lund, the driver's side of the vehicle needs to absorb the energy of a crash and keep the occupant compartment intact.] The Freestyle's performance is what we like to see, ... Ford has done a good job of designing its newest vehicles to better protect occupants in frontal crashes. |
| A terrible showing, the worst of a generally bad lot, |
| As Volkswagen demonstrated, ... automakers know how to design good bumpers. |
| Audi and Infiniti are ahead of many of their competitors in side-impact protection, ... They engineered the new models to do well in both of the Institute's tests, and they want to get the results out more quickly to demonstrate to buyers their cars' state-of-the-art crashworthiness. |

| Automakers are improving the geometry of their head restraints, compared with the last time we evaluated them. Still, in this group of minivans the Fords are the only models with good dynamic performance for all of their seat designs. Many of the seat/head restraints we evaluated didn't even get to the testing stage because of marginal or poor geometry. These cannot begin to protect most people in rear-end crashes. |
| Bumpers that bump apparently weren't a consideration during the design phase ... Designing good bumpers is no great engineering challenge ... but unless this is a priority we're going to continue seeing many manufacturers using inferior designs. |
| But good head restraint geometry by itself isn't sufficient. A seat has to be designed so it doesn't move backward and away from the head during a rear impact. A seat also needs to 'give' so an occupant will sink into it, moving the head closer to the restraint. |
| Drivers of minivans spend a lot of time on urban and suburban roads where rear-end collisions are common in stop-and-go traffic. |
| Earning a 'double best pick' is a rare achievement, ... The only other vehicle to have done this is the Toyota RAV4, a small SUV, and then only when it was equipped with optional side airbags. |
| Earning a 'double best pick' is a rare achievement. The only other vehicle to have done this is the Toyota RAV4, a small SUV, and then only when it was equipped with optional side airbags. |
| Ford could have used this opportunity to design better bumpers. A bumper should be tough enough to prevent major damage in a minor collision at a fast-walking speed. |
| Ford has been doing a good job with some of its recent seat designs such as those in the Freestyle SUV and Five Hundred sedan. But the new Ranger head restraint is more than three inches below the top of the head of an average-size man. This means it won't begin to provide adequate protection for many taller people in rear-end crashes. It's puzzling why Ford decided that buyers of the new Ranger should get less protection against whiplash than people in some of its other vehicles. |
| Ford has done a good job of designing its newest vehicles to better protect occupants in frontal crashes. |
| However, the institute's evaluations show seats and head restraints in many models wouldn't do a good job of protecting most people in typical rear impact in everyday commuter traffic. |
