Nissan Murano aces crash tests; Jeep, Dodge and Hyundai perform poorly.
Jeep Dodge and Hyundai all poor performance in a tough crash test of the insurance industry SUVs.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has completed testing of seven crossovers in his little recoverability testing The Nissan Murano was the best, scoring a good on all measures.
The test assesses what happens when end 25 of a car before the driver's side strikes a rigid barrier top of 5 feet to 40 mph with dummies on board a wreck It simulates wherein the front corner of car hits another car or a solid object.
These accidents account for nearly a quarter of frontal collisions causing serious injury or death, according to the institute.
Chrysler Jeep Wrangler four-door also scored good marks, however, the institute said the Wrangler offers marginal protection in side and rear crashes, so it is not a recommended choice Institute, an industry group insurance seeking auto safety and driving, also said the Jeep lack of a fixed roof and won t provide good protection in rollover crashes.

This is the difference between what buyers savvy and not so savvy recently paid exactly the same Nissan Altima in Southern California.
Those who have paid too, to 25800 for popular family sedan, probably bought their cars as the old walking.

But the Hyundai Santa Fe, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango had only marginal notes Dodge Journey was marked by poor institute.
The test, which was conducted since 2012, has been difficult for the automotive industry due to the high failure rate Some manufacturers are trying to improve the performance of their vehicles when they redesign the car, which usually occurs on a five-year cycle others have made changes to strengthen the car and improving the airbag's performance before a model gets a complete overhaul.
This test has presented a major challenge for manufacturers when it was introduced three years ago, and many have adapted quickly, said David Zuby, the Institute senior research Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep have had some success with redesigned models, but they haven t done much in the way of interim improvements accordingly, they still have many models that low or marginal.

He said Nissan Murano 2015, a new recent design, hit all the marks for protecting small ideal overlap.
Despite extensive damage to the vehicle, the driver has space properly and the dummy's head hit the front airbag, side curtain airbags deployed with sufficient coverage to protect the head from contact with the side structure of Murano objects outside the test demonstrated that an occupant would have a low risk of serious injury in a crash of this severity.
The Murano also improved its roof strength rating to good marginal note of the previous generation.
The crossover Nissan also well in another test, it has a collision prevention system before optional that uses sensors for detecting a potential head-on collision and automatically brakes the automatic braking Murano almost avoided a collision in the test runway 12 miles per hour, and reduces the vehicle speed by 11 mph in the test 25 mph.
The Dodge Journey was at the other end of the spectrum and represents a classic example of poor little overlap protection, said Zuby.
The occupant compartment failed to support, with the vehicle structural components intruders up to nine inches in the cabin, the parking brake pedal tore through the dummy's lower left leg's head dummy contacted only the front air bag before sliding to the left side as the steering column moved to the right, the curtain airbag failed to deploy, leaving the head of the dummy in contact with vulnerable the side structure and the external objects.
