Understanding the IIHS Top Safety Pick Standards
Earning a Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS is a notable achievement, as vehicles must meet stringent testing criteria. To qualify, a vehicle must receive a "Good" rating in front overlap, side-impact, and moderate front-impact tests. Additionally, it must achieve at least an "Acceptable" score in pedestrian crash prevention, with a "Good" rating being preferred. Headlights are also evaluated and must be rated "Acceptable" or "Good" to meet IIHS standards. These benchmarks ensure that awarded vehicles provide outstanding safety in real-world driving situations.
