Where is the IIHS test for the Telluride?

In the mean time, you can hear how well the Sorento did and you can see how bad the Ford Explorer and Jeep Cherokee did. The doors almost blew off of these cars SUVs. And to think I was considering getting the Explorer.

Look at the Pathfinder too, the entire body bent from the impact.

The Cherokee results is one reason I would never purchase another FCA car.

I'm hoping our vehicles perform better - taking a while for the results.

Me too....They say that the Telluride is based on a stretched version of the Sorento platform, so I’m hopeful.

Yeah, I’m glad they do these kinds of tests, but it actually hurt watching a perfectly good, safety notwithstanding, >$40k vehicles get totaled.

Thats like a 1/4 million...I could buy a SXP with the towing package with that money, even with the dealers taking advantage of the current market conditions.

Good to know this, I wasn't aware they were built on the same platform.

Oops...I was mistaken, but that’s what I previously read. According to Autoweek, it appears to be based on the Sonata chassis.

That being said, the 2019 Sonata earned the same IIHS 2019 Top Safety Pick + rating.
