![]() “A higher-riding vehicle may benefit from the barrier striking lower on its side,” says Raul Arbelaez, vice president of the IIHS’ Vehicle Research Center. The all-wheel-drive Telluride we tested on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route returned 24 mpgmatching its government rating. Small SUVs also struggled with driver pelvis injuries, but they performed markedly worse than midsize models in preventing injuries to the chest or abdomen, perhaps due to their lower height relative to the striking barrier. ![]() ![]() However, along with the CX-9 and ID.4, it was among the only midsize SUVs to earn good ratings for preventing injuries to the driver’s pelvis-the body region most frequently injured in real-world side crashes, the IIHS notes. The Palisade and Telluride each received a poor rating here. A smooth-running V-6 engine, a quiet cabin, and confident handling give the Telluride a refined feel on the road too. ![]() The Wrangler, which does not have side airbags for the rear seating positions, earned a poor rating for passenger head protection. And instead of striking the test vehicle at 50 km/h, it hits it at 60 km/h. Instead of 3,300 pounds, the new one weighs around 4,200 pounds, which approximates the weight of most modern midsize SUVs. The IIHS now uses a heavier barrier traveling at a higher speed to simulate the striking vehicle.
