The U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) today announced the 48 winners of a Top Safety Pick+ award and the 13 recipients of a Top Safety Pick award for the 2016 model year.
The baseline requirements for both awards are good ratings in the small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, as well as a standard or optional front crash prevention system.
The 48 winners of the "plus" award have a superior- or advanced-rated front crash prevention system with automatic braking capabilities. These vehicles must stop or slow down without driver intervention before hitting a target in tests at 12 mph (20 km/h), 25 mph (40 km/h) or both. Models with a basic-rated front crash prevention system, which typically only issues a warning and doesn't brake, qualify for Top Safety Pick.
