Of the other CUVs, only the Toyota RAV4 earned an “Acceptable” rating, with head, neck, chest and lower extremity measurements of the rear dummy showing a minimal injury risk. The Escape’s rating is valid for models built after May 2022, when Ford modified the rear seat belts. The head of the rear dummy in the Escape, however, was too close to the front seatback.

The latest crash tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety suggest one of America’s most popular types of vehicles isn’t nearly as safe as many believe it to be. The Ford Escape was one of two vehicles that provided good rear sear p[assenger protection, according to the IIHS.
