2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid
NHTSA Crash Test
Crash test dummies representing an average-sized adult
male and a small-sized adult female are placed in the
driver and front passenger seats, respectively, and are
secured with seat belts. Vehicles are crashed into a fixed
barrier at 35 mph (56.3km/h), which is equivalent to a
head-on collision between two similar vehicles each moving
at 35 mph.

2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid
NHTSA Crash Test
A small-sized adult female crash test dummy is placed in the
driver's seat and is secured with a seat belt. The test vehicle,
angled at 75 degrees, is then pulled sideways at 20 mph (32km/h) into
a 25-cm diameter pole at the driver's seating location. This
test mimics a side impact crash involving a narrow, fixed
object like a utility pole or tree.

2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid
NHTSA Crash Test
Crash test dummies representing an average-sized adult
male and a small-sized adult female are placed in the driver
and rear passenger seats (driver's side), respectively, and are
secured with seat belts. The side crash rating represents an
intersection-type collision by having a 3,015-pound barrier
moving at 38.5 mph (62km/h) into a standing vehicle. The moving
barrier is covered with material that is crushable to replicate
the front of a vehicle.

Ford F150 and Honda Civic frontal crash test by IIHS
When large, truck-based SUVs collide with passenger cars or minivans, the results can be devastating for the occupants of the latter.
But fatalities in such accidents are on the decrease in the United States thanks to measures employed by automakers. Traffic deaths are down 64 percent since the year 2000 due to changes in automobile design such as lower bumpers for SUVs and better-protect cabin cells for passenger cars.
In 2000, the death rate for car and minivan passengers in collisions with trucks or SUVs was 44 deaths per million. That came down to 16 deaths per million by 2009.
The study was conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a private-sector group based in Arlington, Virginia.
"By working together, the automakers got life-saving changes done quickly," said Joe Nolan, the institute's chief administrative officer.
2012 Audi A6 CRASH TEST
The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact. The A6 is fitted with Audi's adaptive frontal airbags and seat belts. Sensors in the front seat rails detect whether an occupant is positioned close to the steering wheel (a small driver, for example) or more rearwards. The restraint system is tuned accordingly, using special vents in the airbags and seat belt load limiters adapted to the appropriate occupant size. In the frontal test, the system worked well and both the driver and passenger's heads were well protected. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the dummies' knees and femurs. Audi showed that the car would provide a similar level of protection to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the side barrier impact, the dummy indicated good protection of all body regions. However, the driver's door was found to be unlatched after the test and the car was penalised for this. In the pole test, the car provided marginal protection of the driver's chest. The seat and head restraint provided good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.

2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in: Startup, First Drive, & Charging
This is one of the first 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in hybrids delivered in Hawaii. Unlike the regular Prius, the plug-in can reach 62 MPH and around 11 miles on electric power alone. Unlike full electric autos like the Nissan Leaf, the Prius Plug-in can function like a regular Prius if it's not plugged in.
We took this one from Sand Island to Kahala Mall and almost got there the whole way on electric power alone. Kahala Mall has two EV stalls with free charging (both stations are sponsored).
Backed it into the space (the stalls were made for Nissan Leaf owners with outlets in the front), plugged in, ate dinner, and was fully charged in about 90 minutes.
► 2012 Honda Civic CRASH TEST
► http://www.youcar.tv
Honda's commitment to safety is embodied by the term 'Safety for Everyone' which means safety for drivers, passengers, pedestrians and all road users. This was at the forefront of the minds of the designers of the new Civic, unveiled in September. One of the ways that this is achieved in the new Civic is through the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, a front-mounted polygonal frame that is designed to prevent the cabin becoming deformed by distributing forces away from the passenger compartment. The new Civic also provides sophisticated pedestrian protection features, including windscreen wiper pivots designed to break away on impact and energy absorbing front wing mounts. The new Civic, developed specifically for the European market, will be offered exclusively as a five-door hatchback and will compete in the C-segment. It will reach European showrooms in early 2012.
2013 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid
Toyota's all-new Prius Plug-in is the latest version of the popular hybrid family to hit the streets. Unlike the regular Prius, you plug this one in, so the higher-capacity battery can provide up to 15 miles of pure-electric driving. Yet with a rougher ride and minimal EV range, Cars.com reviewer Joe Wiesenfelder questions whether the nearly $8,000 price premium over a standard Prius is worth it. The masses of loyal Prius buyers seem to think so, however.
