To my knowledge they aren't subject to any different safety standards. They aren't non-passenger vehicles unless they meet specific guidelines, most of which a typical family SUV will not qualify under. [1] Most of the family SUVs and crossovers you see are constructed on unibody platforms shared with cars. The Corolla Cross that I mentioned is built on the same GA-C platform as the regular Corolla and a number of other cars, vans, and SUVs. [2] There are very few body-on-frame SUVs remaining on the market, which include: - Chevy Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade - Toyota 4Runner, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, Lexus LX, GX - Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator - Jeep Wrangler - Mercedes G-Class These models generally share similarities with their truck counterparts, e.g., a vehicle like the Chevy Suburban shares a platform with GM's full-size pickups.
