The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety announced a huge wave of 2021 IIHS Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ winners in February including two of the top dogs in the Lincoln Motor Company lineup. The 2021 Lincoln Corsair and Lincoln Aviator both pulled down IIHS TSP honors, making three straight years for the former and two years in a row for the latter.
In order to score the IIHS Top Safety Pick, vehicles have to earn “Good” scores in the organization’s six crashworthiness tests: driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraints.
