It's not just cars vs. SUVs, it can also just be cars vs. cars. Brake action causes the front end to dive, lowering the front bumper. My guess is these crash tests don't include the aspect of braking by the car doing the rear-ending. I'd bet the majority of rear end accidents involve the car doing the hitting braking leading up to the impact, rather than just rolling along at 10 mph and crashing into the car in front.
I totalled my parents' 1991 Buick LeSabre back in 1998 in a low speed rear-end collision with a Chevy Camaro. I was on the brakes (too late) and the Camaro's bumper contacted above the Buick's bumper, smashing the grill, headlights, and going into the radiator.
