IIHS: Passanger Vans Damage Repair Costs in Low-Speed Crash Tests at 5 MPH:

Damage Repair Costs in Four Low-Speed Crash Tests at 5 MPH:
PASSENGER VANS

Bumpers should protect car bodies from damage in low-speed collisions, the kind that frequently occur in congested urban traffic. But many don't. The Institute conducts four 5 mph crash tests to assess bumper performance: front-into-flat-barrier, rear-into-flat-barrier, front-into-angle-barrier, and rear-into-pole. Vehicles are listed in alphabetical order by manufacturer.

NOTE: Repair costs are as of January 2002. Where two or more models are grouped together on the same line, bumper tests were conducted on the model listed first.
