Most watched IIHS crash tests in 2022 

Despite the cool rollover, the Jeep Wrangler test was not remotely realistic. The crash test dummy should have been wearing a sleeveless t-shirt and a backwards baseball cap, while vaping, and chugging a can of Monster Energy. So that test is entirely null and void.

Groovy music and watching thousands of dollars get smashed? Hell yeah! Thanks for keeping us safe, IIHS!

Appreciate your effort to engage with viewers more over the past year. Stuff like this helps to raise awareness about what you do.

I can't believe they turned BeamNG into a real thing. So cool

The spark surprised me.

Nice to see some lesser-seen camera angles IIHS! I would love to see some more overhead views/views showing what the car does after the impact. I am a huge advocate for after-collision features such as hazard lights, automatic braking, and audible distress signals, and being able to see what the vehicle does after the crash is always nice to see.

The barrier stood up really well!

The music really makes this

That Jeep tried everything it could to stay upright.... including signalling left with it's turn signal 😂

Auto-pilot on the Model Y "I have determined that his vehicle is drivable. Scheduling your appointment at Telsa service center, with three super charger stops, one stop at Starbucks, and five stops at flannel shirt stores enroute to your destination. Enjoy this David Bowie song"

I love the higher angle from behind watching the cars slide past the barrier. Also, I love how the Tesla basically drove in the other direction after hitting the barrier. Lol

My wife was deadset on getting a Wrangler until I showed her this video

Wow that model Y took the impact incredibly well

The ford bronco KILLED it… OJ would be proud

I’m honestly shocked the BRZ did so well. Small sports cars tend to be crunchy, but that new chassis is super well engineered for safety as much has handling.

Can we all appreciate how clean the barrier is after each crash?

Looks like IIHS are experimenting with new video ideas!

happy new year! thank you for everything!

Dang I’ve been watching y’all’s videos for over 10 years - and will keep watching!

yall are getting spicy with the camera work. i loved the dolly stop under the jeep. thanks for what you all do

Jeep sure knows how to put on a show!

0:21 Oohhh!! That view from underneath!! I’d love to see more of that

The Model Y looked very embarrassed and went into it's own corner at the end 😂😂😂

Me thinking after watching the wrangler rollover on driver-side small overlap test - "I mean it's obvious, it's a SUV with high center of gravity, it will rollover." Then Bronco comes in - "Hmm..."

Thanks for keeping us safe

The Model Y after the impact pretty much said “I don’t need 4 wheels to stay functional!”

Fun fact: The Chevrolet Spark was made in General Motors in South Korea

Love the Jazz! Good to see you’re having a little fun with this one!😂

That jazz is going pretty hard lol

Well done IIHS!

oooh an IIHS rewind... I like it haha

Well done! 🎉

I'm loving these more casual videos

Awesome video.

The Wrangler having only one airbag in 2022 is just shameful, especially when the Bronco manages to have side curtain airbags.

wow Tesla model y is truly impressive.

Excellent summary.

Great jazz track for this compilation!

It was good to see the Chevy Spark tested! Thank you

I have a feeling the institute still uses a high-speed film camera to record the 2013 Spark crash test. I don't know when was the last time the Institue shot on film. January 6, 2023 11:06PM

Can we get some teslacam footage from that model y?

I wonder how the executives of this serious organization react to so many people watching their videos knowing many of them aren’t looking to buy these cars and are just watching the videos because they find them interesting

Model Y: "ight imma head out"

The Jeep flipping over after hitting a perfectly flat obstacle is very Jeep

Test the MX-5 Miata please. The structure is unchanged since the 2015 on-sale date and there are a lot of them running around these days. EU tested it at four-stars a while ago but your tests are evaluate metaphorically wider and deeper than theirs.

Great soundtrack production crew.

Tesla and Volvo (and a very few others... even the Bronco here made an attempt) have perfected that beautiful side-stepping deflection on the small overlap test.

The windshield on the Tesla didn’t even break.

Love it! This is so random 😭😭😂

Wow. I have watched a bunch of these videos and the Wrangler is the first and only vehicle I have ever seen roll over on this test.

Great soundtrack😊

Wow thanks god bless

as usual, the jeep scores a horrid 1 out of 5

Awesome music!!! Who's riffs are those??

That wrangler looks dangerous! I'll just stick to my Samurai.

Can you compare your crash tests to NHTSAs and Euro NCAPS?

Music choice is on-point

Jeep; “What, you don’t want your Wrangler to yeet itself over a guardrail after a crash? ..that’s just boring.”

The music for these crash test didn’t have to go so hard but it did. ❤

the music made this so much better

Side curtain airbags are one of the best inventions to date without a doubt

props to the small overlap impact barrier for being tougher than old boots

I get the weirdest vibe with the jazz overlay. But I like it lol

.. didn't know the Spark had such a big audience, specially after 10 years since that car got tested lol.

I actually have a very good idea of why the JL Wrangler did this. The metal supports for the front bumper end right where the headlights are at. The front end is also narrower than the body and tapers, so even though the fender flares make it just as wide it's not all structural. The Bronco interestingly on models that don't have the Sasquach package have removable front and rear impact bars in the wheel wells. It may be they discovered this would be a flaw in certain accident scenarios and added them in the models that they would clear. The Bronco also lacks the front end taper so it's far less narrow at the point of impact on this test, which is 25% overlap unlike the 50% they used to test with. With the steel bumper on my JL I feel like the chances of a roll over in this type of accident is far less. But I'm curious what would happen with a Sasquach Bronco without the impact bars they have extended in the front, and at the rear part of the wheel well near the foot well of the cabin.

Very cool camera angles on the jeep

It was cool how the model Y kinda steered away during the crash

What was that grille / cage looking device on the Bronco left rear door? It interrupted the deployment of the side curtain airbag.

Love the brass!

It might be useful for IIHS to film some crash tests at 65, 80, and 90 MPH, to show people what could happen to them if they are going highway or faster speeds, hiand hit a guard rail or bridge abutment.

Jeep, like it's Italian cousins, always the dramatic one.

You guys should really do testing on 3rd row safety, as a father looking for a new car with 3rd row seating, I cannot find anything on what the safest cars are in this category

What is the red light for that’s attached to the driver seat and hood?

Looks fun

It's cool seeing how the spark and Tesla deflect the impact around the side of the car to reduce the shock of slowing down

Never tire of the Jeep roll🤣

Hilarious soundtrack!

Small overlap Wrangler crash tests never get old

Where do you get the other angles for the crash?

That Tesla was like "I'll just leave this here, byeeeee"...

Are we surprised the Wrangler rolled? Design flaw that is iconic to the Wrangler.

The Bronco Side Impact Curtain looks like a blow up doll.

Its a body on frame top heavy vehicle with solid axle... Don't expect it to stay up right.

That dummy in the brz was in that airbag like he was eatin them groceries. Lol

You guys should’ve posted the ratings in the video too 😭

Cool music

Would the panel that impacted the top left of the drivers head from the airbag deploying in the Tesla cause any harm to the driver? It seems like it left a decent paint mark on the part but at the same time looks like a very light and flimsy part.

Bold of them to assume Jeep Wrangler owners wear seatbelts, keep doors installed, or drive near the speed limit

Music is kinda Pink Pantherish or Tom and Jerry. Love it lol

People in England: "Smashing!"

Seems like the test was designed so that the driver's head would go towards the area not reached or least protected by the front and lateral airbags (kind of a worst-case scenario head-on collision).

The bronco didn't rollover? I'm surprised ig

Who the hell was looking up Chevy spark crash tests? That blew my mind 😂

What is this music IIHS 😭😭😭 I love you lot

That Tesla had like zero body deflection and just got pushed away, really nice. Everything else kind of got lodged and spun.

So, the top safety pick in 2022 goes to: The barrier 👏👏👏👏👏👏

0:01 Sliding with the Skat....e......

bronco wrangler compare at once :) Only one thing makes sense that price differential between them.

Where can I view extra crash test film like this?

With the Chevy spark, I imagined Shane Gillis driving it and bursted out laughing😂
