These Are the Deadliest Cars on the Road (Ranked with Regret Ratings)

Let’s be real — cars today are smarter than ever. Auto emergency braking, lane keep assist, blind spot alerts… we’re basically driving spaceships now.

And yet? Fatal car crashes are up — like, highest-in-12-years up.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and NHTSA say it’s a mix of higher speeds, distracted driving, and smaller vehicles just not holding up against massive SUVs.

The cars on this list aren’t badly built, but real-world crash stats show their drivers are dying way more often than average. All stats come from NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (2018–2022), compiled by iSeeCars.
