IIHS, Normally I can watch these tests with stoicism and the understanding you are destroying these cars for the greater good. Seeing this wonderful Crown Signia get wrecked really gets to me. 😥
The car is actually cursed! It was too beautiful to be labeled a Lexus so they gave it a Toyota badge. They put the poor car out of it's misery so it wouldn't have to driven around by some old lady who complains about Christmas decorations....
Not really. No car should really be rebounding violently in this test, Volvo has already shared the secret formula years ago; extra metal on both sides to reroute collision forces
Could be me, but it looked like the test dummy head hit that A pillar? Good news? I bet that crash fixed the driver side door wind noise many are noting on other boards...
According to IIHS's website: "The frontal and side curtain airbags worked well together to keep the head from coming close to any stiff structure or outside objects that could cause injury."
i feel always, when car bounces away from collision like that, this is made especially for these crash tests. Move this impact 5-10cm to center and result possibly will be very different as this specifically placed beam is not positioned for that and takes direct hit.
The gold standard is an offensive strategy over a defensive one. Go take a look at the Model Y. It’s designed to deflect crashes rather than take them head on and send all that energy into the passengers.
@@GrandHuevotes have you been living under a rock for the past 20 years cause like all new cars HAVE to be able to deflect the impact energy in order to pass this test or keep occupants safe
I would like for Toyota to finally fix the Grand Highlander so I can finally stop roasting people that own this instead of the Honda Pilot which is ultimately safer
I like the Pilot as well. I’m not a fan of a timing belt engine, and the dang valve cover is now also integrated to include the cam caps. So all that has to be removed to change the timing belt. Idk why they messed with it.
Here we are in the last weeks of 2024 apparently still caring what other people drive. Unless it's a cyber truck (because those people deserve much more mockery) what difference does it make?
@@JBinFL It's mainly because that GH got an Acceptable in the small overlap and it triggers me every time it was still bought by people that are unaware despite not getting any IIHS award
@@michaelmahaffey3201 belts are quieter and you don't have to tear the whole engine apart to replace them or do maintenance on them like you have to in their 4 cylinders which I believe are all if not mostly chain driven which you can tell cause you can hear the loud ass chains as you get up there in rpms
@@TYPICALTRYHARD_yes they are quieter, I own 2 older Toyotas that are belt driven, but idk why Honda make the valve cover the price that holds down the cams in this 3.5 redesign. I mean seriously though, that just complicates things. Think of a valve cover gasket change, you’d have to release the timing belt tensioner just to do that job. It is my understanding that it’s all sealant now and not a gasket, so hopefully that reduces the possibility of valve cover leaks down the road. But what a job when it does.
It appears the structure of the vehicle is not good. Notice how the driver door deforms, the roof crumples the windshield breaks and the whole car flexes. This is considered "good?"
First off, that's just the sheet metal of the door being shredded off, not the physical door itself. Second, that's how it's supposed to work - the forces get transferred *around* the driver and not *into* them.
why’d y’all have to crash a Bronze Age Limited?!?! 😰 couldn’t you have just used a black or white XLE?! 😭
Nobody likes that color.😂
It's a hard sell. 🤮
Stop Crying like a Baby
They needed a high trim to test some of the advanced safety features
Maybe they need to test models with sunroofs because the car is weaker structurally?

And would you know this vehicle is "wonderful" were it not for tests. Get over it.
Good job Toyota
im glad bc usually they get acceptable...
@@amazongaming261they get one acceptable after a few years and now it’s usually?
Look at the updated side impact test. The structure didn’t even score Good lol. The pelvis didn’t score good either 😳

Bad front door
Weak door, rest good
Why no moderate overlap front updated test? Its a 2025 model
Why not conduct that test? Been waiting for these tests before buying. Great to see them.
That's my car.
