What in the world is the Honda CR-V Hybrid doing so high on this list?! That doesn't seem to fit any of the theories I've seen spun up so far.

What in the world is the Honda CR-V Hybrid doing so high on this list?! That doesn't seem to fit any of the theories I've seen spun up so far.
- yardstick 2y agoFamily car, probably lots of accidents due to kids distracting drivers.
- floxy 2y agoLooks like the hybrid version of the CR-V was released in 2020: https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/releases/release-13f25e90cfe47cd58453f1f710057d45-honda-cr-v-timeline-and-milestones https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/releases/relea... ...and the study only covered model years up to 2022. It would be interesting to compare the hybrid to the standard version. If there is a significant difference, I'd be suspicious of data quality.
- tzs 2y agoIf that was the case I'd expect the non-hybrid CR-V to be up there too. I found a discussion of the 2019 report, which was the year before the CR-V hybrid came out, and the CR-V fatality rate was 2.7.

- mathgeek 2y agoThe Highlander rates somewhat higher on crash ratings from what I can find (both are top picks). Also a significantly heavier vehicle (by about 10% depending on model years).
