The Safest New Cars for 2022

For the 2022 model year, more than 50 vehicles earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's highest honor of "Top Safety Pick+". The IIHS, funded by the insurance industry, conducts crash tests that include driver’s-side small-overlap front, moderate-overlap front, side-impact, roof-strength, passenger-side small-overlap test, and head restraint testing. To earn a Top Safety Pick+ rating, a car must score a rating of Good in all six of those tests, get a Good or Acceptable rating for its headlights, and achieve an Advanced or Superior rating for crash-prevention systems. The cars in this list have all won the IIHS's Top Safety Pick+ award for 2022.
