Bigger vehicle doesn't always mean bigger and better crumple zones. Crinkle zones have to be made bigger themselves. Some bigger vehicles actually have smaller crumple zones. Bigger engine bays don't necessarily crumple and take more impact if the engine in there is humongous because engines don't have crumple zones.
The only vehicles to get perfect 5 star crash test ratings in every category by the NHTSA are mid-sized and small sedans, hatchbacks and station wagons, at least for the the 2020 and 2021 years.
