2025 IIHS Rating

It is my understanding that the GH earned "acceptable" ratings in a couple areas on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which took some people by surprise, including myself.

I am just wanting to be clear on a couple things. The report I recently viewed says it includes both 24-25( see link above). Does this mean nothing has changed to improve the safety rated as "acceptable" in crashworthiness in the overlap front? Or with the headlights? (Less of a concern to me personally).

It seems to be the case. I am not sure if this will steer me from getting a GH, as it is still the plan, but I wondered how others feel about this. Also- a possibly stupid question- is this issue separate from the airbag recall?

I am not knowledgeable when it comes to cars, or the ins and outs of iihs, just a mom with two young kids looking for a safe ride! We love the GH because of its size and the possibility of getting a hybrid. There really isn't anything out there that it compares to for us. Checking all the boxes before ordering!

Thanks for any input!
