Safety-Conscious Car Buyers Now Have 90 Top-Rated Vehicles to Choose From
The Center for Auto Safety is the nation’s premier independent, member driven, non-profit consumer advocacy organization dedicated to improving vehicle safety, quality, and fuel economy on behalf of all drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.
“It is nice to see more and more manufacturers realize that advanced crash avoidance technology should be seen as standard equipment, and not part of luxury add-on packages,” said Jason Levine.

Whether it’s an SUV for you, or a compact car for the teenage driver in the house, you want any new vehicle you buy to be as safe as possible. You now have more choices than ever.
A record number of 2021 models earned a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS): 90 made the list compared with 64 last year.
Based on IIHS tests, these 90 vehicles provide good protection to passengers in a crash, have headlights that sufficiently light the road ahead with less glare for oncoming drivers, and have effective front crash protection technology.
