Who doesn’t want to buy a car that is safe enough? Recently, IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) announced the list of winners of the 2022 TOP SAFETY PICK+ and TOP SAFETY PICK awards (Best Safety Award), of which the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award is the highest honor.
IIHS is known for being the most rigorous crash test in the world. Its 25% offset crash test has become a nightmare for many car companies. China Insurance Research, which is well-known in China, has borrowed the IIHS test standard for reference, so it can be awarded the IIHS Award. The best safety award of the year is naturally the highest standard of safety.
A total of 65 cars have been selected for the award this year, compared with 49 in 2021. Here are some of the cars that are closely related to domestic consumers for your reference.
Classified by model class, the award-winning models for compact cars include Honda Civic and Mazda3; mid-size cars include Honda Accord, Kia K5, Nissan Altima (sister car of the domestic Teana), Subaru Legacy, and Toyota Camry.
In the SUV field, compact SUVs include Ford Bronco Sport, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-5, Mazda CX-30, Mitsubishi Outlander, Nissan X-Trail, and Volkswagen ID.4; mid-size SUVs include Ford Explorer, Hyundai Paris, and Hyundai Win Da, Mazda CX-9, Toyota Highlander.
There are fewer MPV models, including the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna (the domestic senna).
