There is one other factor to consider on vehicle safety: most accidents are single vehicle accidents where the vehicle crashes into the median, a tree, light pole, anything that isn't moving. Because most large SUVs and all trucks have more rigid frames, they are way more dangerous in single vehicle accidents because they transfer more of the accident's energy to the people inside. Whereas passenger vehicles and newer crossovers are designed to absorb much of the impact energy, making them safer in the most common type of accident -- single vehicle ones.
