The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recently posted a video and an accompanying article drawing attention to the Ford Mustang Mach-E electric crossover's performance in the organization's newly updated side crash test.
For those unaware, the IIHS adds new tests and updates other tests on a periodic basis. The new tests are typically more difficult, and they can serve as a sort of trial at first. However, after a time, the IIHS' new test and requirements will eventually help determine whether or not a vehicle is designated as a coveted Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ award winner. In short, each year it likely becomes more difficult for vehicles to secure the top honors.
