Cars that kill the driver; From Hyundai Accent to Ford Mustang

IIHS has identified the most unsafe cars on the US market. Familiar names such as Camaro, Mustang and Accent can be seen in this list.

In Iran, with the absence of the latest cars in the market and the production of products made by Western car manufacturers decades ago, safety does not seem to be an issue. However, it is clear that in other regions, including Europe and North America, cars must pass comprehensive tests to assess their level of safety before entering the market. In particular, in the United States, the IIHS Institute is responsible for this task and has recently compiled a list of the most unsafe cars from the 2020 model year onwards; A list that includes cars in completely different classes, from subcompact to muscle cars.

The most unsafe cars on the American market

According to the IIHS, the famous muscle cars Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Charger and Challenger are some of the most unsafe cars on the American market. The evaluations show that the probability of fatal injury to the passengers in these cars is very high and this can be related to several factors, but undoubtedly one of them is that every driver does not have the ability to control the output and high speed of the engines of these cars.

As the IIHS notes, official advertising for these muscle cars focuses on high-risk driving. Of course, this exciting driving experience is part of the nature of these products, which car manufacturers use to sell them successfully. Also, based on the statistics of this American institute, the probability that both the Dodge driver and the driver of another car will be killed in accidents with Dodge cars is more than others.

Of course, muscle cars like the Dodge Charger are not the most unsafe cars on the American market. In fact, minicars such as Chevrolet Spark, Mitsubishi Mirage and Hyundai Accent have recorded the most driver deaths. Big size pickups like Ram 3500 are also classified among the cars that have the most casualties for the driver of the cars in front of them in Tsaf. High volume, speed, and weight, as well as incorrect advertising maneuvers, are some of the contributing factors.

“Chuck Farmer,” IIHS vice president of research and statistical services, says that in general, new cars have become safer than in the past, but there is still a significant difference between the safety levels of different types of cars. He also pointed out that during the Covid-19 pandemic, there was a significant increase in speed-related fatal accidents; This justifies the placement of muscle cars among some of the most unsafe cars on the American market.

Of course, the cars that are among the most unsafe cars in America are considered safe products above the market level in Iran. The products mentioned earlier have been labeled unsafe by US standards for several reasons.
