Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
- Rating applies to 2024-25 models
Tested vehicle: 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander XLE 4-door 4wd
The Toyota Grand Highlander and Lexus TX were introduced for the 2024 model year.

Action shot taken during the driver-side small overlap frontal crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained reasonably well.
The dummy’s head contacted the frontal airbag but rolled around the left side, allowing the head to move toward the gap in coverage between the frontal and side curtain airbags.
The driver's space was maintained reasonably well, and risk of injuries to the dummy's legs and feet was low.
