Watch Rivian R1T Get Crash Tested By IIHS On Its Way To A Top Safety Pick+ via insideevs.com
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has just published the results of putting the 2022 - 2023 Rivian R1T electric pickup through its usual barrage of tests. The R1T aced its performance and was given the Top Safety Pick+ rating, marking it as being one of the safest vehicles on the road and only the second pickup in this size bracket to get the award.The crew cab pickup meets all the requirements for the higher-tier award.
However, the R1T has clearly been designed with this test in mind and it slides to the side of the barrier as the impact occurs, essentially keeping the vehicle from stopping on the spot, which would amplify the forces being sent through the body. In the moderate-overlap test, the vehicle impresses with the solidity of its A-pillar, which doesn’t seem to move at all in the impact .
The R1T did well for passenger protection, getting the maximum result in all categories and subcategories except for rear passenger head protection, where it got an “acceptable” rating. It also got the “superior” rating for its crash prevention technology and its headlights were also deemed “good.”
