SUV Safety: A Top Priority for Manufacturers
Summary
As SUVs remain a popular choice over minivans and station wagons, safety concerns have become a key factor for consumers. Manufacturers are responding with advanced safety features to meet these demands.

With the growing popularity of SUVs as an alternative to minivans and station wagons, there's a heightened focus on safety. Consumers now prioritize safety features when purchasing these vehicles.
Despite the perception of increased security in an SUV, independent tests reveal that their larger size, higher ground clearance, and heavier weight can reduce maneuverability compared to passenger cars.
Manufacturers are tackling these concerns with innovative safety enhancements. For instance, Toyota's Star Safety System includes five standard features: Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD), and Brake Assist.
Vehicle Stability Control minimizes front- and rear-wheel slip, a common cause of losing vehicle control. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes a 67% reduction in single-vehicle crashes with this system active.
Traction Control aids in maintaining control on wet, icy, and uneven surfaces by adjusting wheel braking and engine output as needed.
Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) utilize a computer to monitor wheel speeds. If a wheel is nearing lockup, ABS modulates brake pressure to prevent skidding, ensuring control is maintained.
Electronic Brake-Force Distribution optimizes braking force for each wheel. If cargo is loaded in the rear, EBD reallocates brake force to ensure effective braking across all wheels.
Brake Assist offers extra brake pressure during sudden stops, maximizing the effectiveness of ABS. Sensors detect emergency braking and apply additional pressure as needed.
These standard safety features are continually evolving in SUVs, trucks, and cars. While some are specifically designed for SUVs, others like ABS are standard across various vehicles. As these features become more widespread, they should be a key consideration when purchasing an SUV.
