If you reversed the vehicles the outcome would be the same. The size differential has to be massive for it to matter. Modern safety requirements are stringent and you wouldn't believe how much a small sedan can take in a crash.
The most important safety feature in a vehicle is performance, and SUVs (especially mid and full size) are outright worse, regardless of what your average American thinks.

- kalleboo 3y ago> The most important safety feature in a vehicle is performance Do you have a source for this? I'm honestly curious. In every near-miss I've had in traffic, the only performance that would have helped is braking performance. And I drive a Kei car as a sole family car. On long highway road trips.
- seabird 3y agoMy point of view came from personal experience, but it's encoded in all sorts of safety requirements concerning tires, brakes, suspension, etc. Good handling is also very important for safety. SUVs before stability control are a perfect example of this.
