The IIHS noted that all three vehicles had head-protecting airbags that performed well.

In the bottom half of the rating spectrum, the Honda Accord managed a score of Marginal.

The worst performers were the Chevy Malibu, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry, which were all rated Poor.

The Altima and Malibu had “substantial” cabin intrusion, according to the IIHS.

However, that could change in 2023, when this test is officially added to the standard IIHS regimen.
