Larger SUVs are built to haul children, cargo and more, but when it comes to keeping your family safe, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety warns bigger is not always better.
For drivers of large SUVs, their imposing size comes with a sense of security, but IIHS tested three of the most popular models and only one scored well enough to earn a 2024 top safety pick award.
The base model for a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer is just shy of $63,000. For that price, you get a larger SUV that also scores “Good” in headlight and pedestrian front-crash prevention testing. Video of the crash tests show the Tahoe failing to respond in the night time testing of the crash prevention system. When using high beams, the SUV did slow down in a simulation. When low beams were on though, the SUV kept going.
