It's not as much about size, mainly bumper height from what I understand. An SUV hitting anything smaller will essentially always end worse for the smaller car

It's not as much about size, mainly bumper height from what I understand. An SUV hitting anything smaller will essentially always end worse for the smaller car than small car vs small car or SUV vs SUV. And since there are so many SUVs out there, smaller cars are always in danger.
- tornato7 3y agoSize is an important factor because the extra crush room allows for more gradual deceleration in a crash. Mass is an important factor because in an inelastic collision, the lighter object will experience greater G-forces.
