In order for a vehicle to earn a Top Safety Pick+, the organization's highest honor, a vehicle must earn a Good rating in every crash test including the updated driver's- and passenger's-side small overlap front tests, the original moderate overlap front test, and the updated side test. Additionally, headlights must earn a Good or Acceptable rating and either a Superior or Advanced rating in both daytime testing and the new nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian front-crash prevention test.
Active safety tech required for crash avoidance and mitigation tests includes forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. Many of the Top Safety Pick+ winners also feature additional active safety tech.
With the stricter criteria, only 17 crossovers and SUVs received IIHS's highest honors for 2023 and 2024. Many were also given five-star crash-test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Remember, active safety tech is designed to enhance driver safety awareness—not replace it.
