Anyone know how much safer a SUV is vs a sedan? Is the diff significant?

Depends on the SUV but they’re generally safer. Never been a big car guy but just had a kid so I got a Defender, which has higher safety standards than most SUVs.

Also when we drive in our big truck, everyone else let's us do whatever we want. So size seems to matter.

For real though. The safest car I ever owned was a 1981 Volvo, because it could not go on highways. 😁

Where are you driving, and how idiotic are the people around you? Not to fight stupid car fights but my newish Subaru Outback was the worst car I ever owned.

Lotta variables to consider. Generally the newer car is safer. What are you wanting safety from? High speed fe collision? Getting t-boned? Responsive handling and better visibility might introduce more safety for the right driver in the right circumstance. I think thats partly the argument for SUVs. You see more.

Bigger car = bigger sale. But you’re not safer, just more gullible for buying in to it.

It’s not suv vs. sedan, it’s older vs. newer. They’re all subject to the same safety standards. Also keep in mind, the heavier your vehicle, the more energy you’re introducing to any potential impact. Additional size doesnt provide you any actual benefit here, having the most effective crumple zone does.

Ironically, SUVs are involved in more accidents because they attract poor drivers due to the safety marketing.

Get a Volvo. The difference in crash tests is visually stunning compared to anything on the road

Tend to think in terms of weight/height. Heavier + higher = somewhat safer 🤷

More crumple zones generally and a box shape helps on impacts, for newer drivers its nice to have the added lift to prevent curb scraping
