News Toyota RAV4 earns poor rating in small overlap front crash test

The Toyota RAV4 earns a poor rating for protecting people in small overlap front crashes. The small SUV was redesigned for the 2013 model year, but the changes weren't enough to lift the RAV4's performance in the Institute's challenging test. A combination of poor structure and inadequate control of the dummy's movement prevented the RAV4 from earning a better rating.

Oops. It's one thing to have models do poorly if they were introduced well before the new test was widely known. But for a model that was "all-new" for 2013? No excuse to have worse than an "Acceptable" rating, in my opinion.
