The Rigorous Standards

To secure the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, these SUVs had to excel in various IIHS tests. From the updated side test to driver-side and passenger-side small overlap front tests, they had to demonstrate exceptional performance. Additionally, acceptable or good headlights must be standard across all trims, and a front crash prevention system must earn advanced or superior ratings.
