For those looking to buy, this is something you ought to be factoring into your decision:

The Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Buick Encore, Jeep Patriot and Ford Escape each flunked the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap crash test in one way or another.

The only two small SUV-crossovers to earn an 'acceptable' or 'good' rating in recent testing were the 2014 Subaru Forester and the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, reports Automotive News.

This is a new test though simulating hitting a tree/pole. They do fine in the other tests though.
