The Unofficial SUV Safety Report – Why a Lexus RX350 might be Safer than a Mercedes Benz

Posted: Jan 06, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Believe it or not, today’s SUV consumers are driving towards more safer vehicles. However, with so many options to choose from, finding the right safety features might be a challenge. With the help of this auto-safety overview, you can easily determine which SUV is perfect for you and your family. Studies have shown that an upper class SUV such as a Lexus RX350 may be a lot safer than the classic Benz with Mercedes alloy wheels. You decide.

Here is the unofficial SUV safety report:

*Four-Wheel Independent Suspension* This feature allows each separate wheel to react as an individual when being challenged by rough terrains and bumpy roads. This allows for precise and responsive steering that is definitely vital during evasive maneuvers.

*Uni-body Structure* This feature offers a lower center of gravity which thereby helps to reduce body swat. It also works to keep all four wheels on the ground firmly. This structure also enables far better handling and an increased rigidity.

*Electronic Stability Control Systems (ESC)* These carefully designed ESC systems “take over” if a vehicle’s sensors detect a loss of control. Needless to say, this is a very beneficial safety device.

*Anti-Lock Disc Brakes* Most cars have anti-lock brakes by now. But you should definitely look for vehicles with heavy duty disc brakes as well, especially since SUV’s are built to carry heavy loads.

*Aerodynamics* SUV’s now behave like a sports car due to its streamlined shape. With poor aerodynamics, a lift underneath a vehicle can cause severe instability.

*Airbags* There are more than ever before. SUV’s all have dual front air bags, a side of impact bags on either side, as well as curtain airbags to ensure the utmost safety.

Most of today’s SUV’s come fully equipped with the most advanced safety and technological features possible. And they do come as a standard.
