It actually only missed the "plus" designation due to the lower end headlights used in the Select trim.

Which means my FE has a better rating.

but still disappointing and less safety rating than model 3, ID4 and Etron.

Disappointing? That's an amazing statement. The "+" is based on the headlights being available as standard on all trim levels. They are not. Since this was well known before the test, anyone expecting a "+" would have to either have been (1) ignorant of how the "+" is awarded or (2) brain dead. Just saying.

Absolutely OK. But you weren't disappointed, just indifferent!

I don't know if I understand why someone who bailed on Mach-e for e-tron sticks around on this forum.

It’s those sill guards you have on the FE. That makes all the difference.

well if you really look at it. The Audi lower model didn't do great either. When you compare the Audi prestige to the mache premium you will see the headlights are better in the ford than the audi. As the Audi prestige has a bad problem with glare.

Sometimes you have to really read into the reports and compare the specs.

Showing my euro bias here, but until light standards are changed half the cars sold in the USA should be given a giant minus for the headlights as they are utter rubbish, candles in jam jars would be better a description for some vehicles I have had the displeasure of having to drive at nighttime over here.

So while things have improved in the upper trim levels, until the latest matrix led and advanced projector head lights are legal manufactures are just going to continue to offer bean counter specials lower down or have to try and downgrade the existing matrix head lights to work with antiqued regs.

So while I commend the IIHS for marking down poor headlights they also need to push on the regs being changed, and while they are at it I would also get them to consider docking marks for non amber turn signals in the rear and get those regs updated so animated ones don't need to be composed from oversized blobs forcing the continued use of red.

I think we all have no problems with letting 60's cars continue to be grand fathered in with legacy rules but it is time for the USA lighting regs to join the 21st century and manufactures can then save money buy being able to use the same light units in multiple regions.
