2025-2006 IIHS New and Used Model Top Safety Winners - Size Matters For Safer Cars
 |
Editor's Note: If Your Having Trouble Seeing This Page Go Directly To IIHS Top Safety Picks
Vehicles that perform best in our evaluations qualify for Top Safety Pick, which has been awarded since the 2006 model year, or Top Safety Pick+, which was inaugurated in 2013.
These awards identify the best vehicle choices for safety within size categories during a given year. Larger, heavier vehicles generally afford more protection than smaller, lighter ones. Thus, a small car that qualifies for an award might not protect its occupants as well as a bigger vehicle that doesn't earn the award.
