DETROIT (AP) — Only three of seven midsize SUVs from the 2015 model year do well in front-end crash tests.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has given the Nissan Murano and Jeep Wrangler four-door the highest rating of "good" in the latest round of crash tests.

The Ford Flex got the second-best "acceptable," rating. The test mimics what happens when a car's front corner collides with an object such as a utility pole. The Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee and Hyundai Santa Fe got "marginal" ratings, and the Dodge Journey received a "poor" rating.
