rating. Both crossovers earned the highest score of “Good” in every crash test, including the tricky passenger small overlap frontal test.

, the “Good” headlights are LED units on the Limited and Touring trims, and the
are LED units that come with the Limited and Ultimate trims. The lower trim levels of both vehicles come with halogen headlights. The
halogens were rated “Poor” for not providing enough illumination while also causing glare for oncoming drivers, while the
lights were rated “Marginal,” the next highest rating from bottom, for simply not illuminating enough, but they didn’t cause glare.
