- Insurance Institute for Highway Safety: Luxury Car Bumpers
The Institute of Releasing Results have a series of 3 and 6 mile an hour bumper tests of 11 mid sized luxury cars.
The tests are designed to evaluate how well the vehicle’s bumper protects it in everyday fender bender type of collisions. The institute’s bumper barrier represents the height and the design of a typical car bumper. Some vehicles have bumpers that are lower and that can lead to under ride, especially with SUVs and pick ups. None of the vehicles in this group performed especially well. The best performer was the Saab 9 - 3 with about $5000 damage, in all 4 tests.
