Tjaeh, ganske vist er det følgende fra en ret gammel rapport, men dens konklusion er altså, at de fire på det tidspunkt sikreste biler at opholde sig i var: Jaguar XJ-serien, M-Benz S-klasse, Land Rover Defender og Land Rover Discovery... Se her:
(UK Department of Transport Statistics): "Risk of injury measured by percentage of drivers injured in a two car injury accident"):
The statistics show that for popular, lightly built cars, occupants have a 6%-8% chance of death in a two car accident. (e.g. BMW 3 series 6%, Subaru Impreza 8%, Honda Accord 6%). Traditional "safety cars" such as the Volvos halve that chance (Volvo 700 4% incidence of death, Volvo 900 3%).
Despite poor performance in theoretical tests and criticism from media pundits, SUVs fare much better than 'safety cars', with the Jeep Cherokee and Toyota Land Cruiser giving 2% incidence of death in actual crashes.
Overall the four best vehicles to be in are the Jaguar XJ series 1%, Mercedes-Benz S-Class / SEC 1%, Land Rover Defender 1% and Land Rover Discovery 1%.
