TL;DR

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has updated its crash tests to include rear passenger protection, and only four out of thirteen midsize SUVs tested were able to secure a top rating. The Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y were among the exceptions, with the Mach-E earning the top rating across all 11 categories of the new test. The Model Y got the top score in 10 of the 11 categories. The IIHS hopes to encourage automakers to improve rear seat safety, as most midsize SUVs fall short in this area.
