Very good points, but I wasn't able to find videos of comparison with those cars you mentioned specifically, but check Volvo's S60, which also scores the highest:
The Volvo S60 didn't even make the secondary IIHS Top Safety Pick list for 2019, let alone the highest Top Safety Pick+ list being discussed. Why is this video relevant? Nevermind that there isn't a dummy post-mortem analysis supplementing the video.
