Massive station wagons ruled the roads in the 70s, in the 80s minivans reigned supreme, and in the 90s, the SUV ushered in a new era of family vehicles. As the popularity of the SUV grew, the safer they needed to become. Buying an SUV may be a daunting task because you&rsquo;ll have to match the standard features with your family. Beyond that, you want to keep your family safe in case anything untoward happens on the road. Using The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) standards, here are the safest SUVs in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone is-resized wp-image-2486 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/family-SUV.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2486\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/family-SUV.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/family-SUV-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/family-SUV-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/family-SUV-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><figcaption>During the 90s, the SUV ushered in a new era of family vehicles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the IIHS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever watched those videos of vehicles being purposely crashed into walls? Most likely, that is The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crashing vehicles. Since 1959, they have been the authority on vehicle crash safety in America. Funded by major insurance associations, they take a scientific approach to researching about vehicle crash avoidance and crashworthiness, human factors, and the physical environment of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The results of their research have greatly affected vehicle safety. In 1996 IIHS conducted a moderate overlap frontal crash to simulate when a vehicle crashes into something off the centerline of its structure. Half of the vehicles at the time earned a marginal or poor rating. Today, nearly all vehicles are designed to effectively protect its passengers during a similar situation. In 2003, they introduced the side impact test resulting in increased side impact safety and better rollover safety ratings. Adapting to the trends of modern vehicles, IIHS began rating vehicles&rsquo; active safety systems for frontal crash prevention. This covers how the vehicle can warn of an impending collision or initiate autonomous braking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the safest SUVs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems as if every manufacturer is capitalizing on the popularity of the SUV. This makes the task of buying the perfect one that much harder.
