Most Dangerous Vehicles on US Roads – New Safety Rankings

Every year, groups like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) put out a report of driver deaths and the vehicles that were driven at the time of the crash.

One of the reports says the worst vehicle for the safety of U.S. roads is the Suzuki, which has the highest crash rate.

Coming in second was Saturn. While its crash test scores look promising on paper, the actual accident rate tells a different story.

Following in third, Pontiac. Though equipped with strong safety features according to crash tests, real drivers face significantly higher risks than the ratings suggest.

Mercury ranks fourth. The model shows serious concerns with its frontal crash accidents.

rating of 3, the lowest in the top ten. This weakness is particularly concerning given that Mercury still sold 1.51 million units to U.S. consumers.

Landing in fifth, Volvo Truck. For years the company has had a reputation for safety, yet according to some safety reports, Volvo vehicles have a higher number of car crashes.

Securing sixth place, the Lincoln model saw an increase in frontal and side crashes. Taking the seventh position is Dodge. In eighth place is Mitsubishi. Sitting in ninth place was GMC, and rounding out the top ten was Honda. Car analysts point out that Honda is the only manufacturer among the top-ranked ones to achieve perfect crash test scores. Honda also has the highest sales volume at 23.76M units and still maintains the lowest accident rate.

Some of the methods analyst use to determine car safety on US roads by identifying which brands have the highest crash rates relative to their sales. The analysis focused on three key metrics: total crashes, total units sold, and crashes per 100K vehicles, the latter serving as the primary ranking factor. The final ranking highlights the least safe vehicle manufacturers based on crash frequency relative to their market presence, offering valuable insights for consumers evaluating vehicle safety.
