Minivan crash tests: Toyota good; Chrysler, Dodge, Nissan poor - Yahoo News

DETROIT (Reuters) - In a front overlap crash safety tests of four minivans sold in the United States, only the latest model of the Toyota Motor Corp Sienna scored well, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said on Thursday. The Chrysler Group LLC Dodge Grand Caravan, the Chrysler Town & Country, and the Nissan Motor Co Quest performed poorly, the IIHS said. The Nissan Quest from model years 2011 to 2015, Chrysler Group's Dodge Grand Caravan from model years 2008 to 2015 and the Chrysler Town & Country all received scores of "poor" in the tests. Chrysler Group is a unit of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Sienna models prior to the 2015 model year were not tested by the IIHS, and the influential U. S. insurance industry group said it has yet to test the Kia Motors Corp Sedona, the only minivan sold in the United States not yet tested.
