While that&#8217;s certainly a good result, it could&#8217;ve been even better. The electric SUV did not qualify for the maximum Top Safety Pick+ rating due to an issue with the headlight quality on the lower trim levels.<\/p>\n<p>As the IIHS explains, the first <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/03\/07\/ford-mustang-mach-e-ota-update-beta\/\">Mustang-badged SUV<\/a> ever has LED headlights with a &#8220;good&#8221; rating on the more expensive Premium, GT, and the First Edition versions. However, step down to the Select and California Route 1 models and these have headlights with &#8220;marginal&#8221; quality. The IIHS goes on to say the lesser lights offer &#8220;inadequate illumination on some curves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E driver-side small overlap IIHS crash test\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CfrnJ9M9cy8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In order to qualify for a Top Safety Pick award, the vehicle tested by the IIHS has to earn good ratings in all six crashworthiness tests, as follows: driver- and passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraints. An advanced- or superior-rated front crash prevention system is a must, and the Mustang Mach-E&#8217;s standard setup was rated as being superior in IIHS&#8217; vehicle-to-pedestrian and vehicle-to-vehicle tests.<\/p>\n<p>On a related note, the IIHS also tested the <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/02\/25\/volvo-xc40-recharge-more-range-faster-charging-ota-update\/\">Volvo XC40 Recharge<\/a> and it fared better than Ford&#8217;s zero-emissions SUV by going home with a Top Safety Pick+ award. It follows other EVs that have received a similar title in 2021, such as the Tesla Model 3 and the Audi E-Tron \/ Audi Sportback E-Tron. In addition, a handful of PHEVs also got the maximum rating.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge moderate overlap IIHS crash test\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oC-p429UXTI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>IIHS believes the recent experience has demonstrated electric vehicles are (at the very least) just as safe in the event of a crash as traditional vehicles powered by combustion engines. Not only that, insurance data shows there are far fewer injury claims related to EVs compared to ICE-powered models. In the 2011 to 2019 interval, data shows the rates of injury claims were more than 40% lower for people inside electric cars than in equivalent gasoline- or diesel-fueled vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Insurance Institute for Highway Safety<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has crash-tested the new Ford Mustang Mach-E and gave it a Top Safety Pick award.
