To be an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ winner, a vehicle needs to earn top marks in six different crashworthiness tests. In addition to acing these trials, it needs to offer a front crash prevention system that’s been graded as “advanced” or “superior” in trials that test both its vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian accident mitigation technology. The vehicle also needs to earn “good” or “acceptable” rating across all models.
