The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has announced 101 models as winners in its 2022 top safety pick awards.<\/p>\n
A total of 65 models have earned the 2022 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award and another 36 models have been awarded the lower-tier TOP SAFETY PICK accolade.<\/p>\n
Last year the IIHS presented awards to 90 models.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to see more vehicles on this list in 2022,\u201d said IIHS President David Harkey.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur awards make it easy for car buyers to find models that will protect them in a crash and increase the odds they\u2019ll never be in one. By shooting for TOP SAFETY PICK+, automakers are showing that they\u2019re committed to the same goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hyundai Motor Group, which includes the Hyundai, Kia and Genesis brands, has the most 2022 awards overall and the most awards in each category \u2014 11 TOP SAFETY PICK+ and 10 TOP SAFETY PICK awards for a total of 21.<\/p>\n
Volkswagen Group, which includes the Volkswagen and Audi brands, is not far behind with eight TOP SAFETY PICK+ and three TOP SAFETY PICK awards. Volvo earns 10 TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards.<\/p>\n
All the 2022 award winners earned good ratings in six IIHS crashworthiness tests, including the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, original side, roof strength and head restraint tests.<\/p>\n
They also have front crash prevention systems that earn advanced or superior ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations, as well as at least one headlight system that earns a good or acceptable rating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
