Spirited To Make Ever Better Cars Toyota Tops the IIHS 2016 Top Safety Pick Awards
22 Mar 2016
RECORD ACHIEVEMENT TO SET INDUSTRY BENCHMARKS
Toyota once again led the industry on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) annual list of safety awards. Nine Toyota, Lexus and Scion models received the IIHS’ highest award for 2016, the TOP SAFETY PICK+, the most of any manufacturer.
Toyota continues to focus on the safety and peace of mind of customers. Recognition by IIHS is a testimony of Toyota’s commitment to helping protect drivers and passengers.
According to IIHS, automakers were required to meet tougher criteria to be considered for the 2016 awards. For this year’s TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards, the IIHS recognized the addition of Toyota’s pre-collision system to the Avalon and the RAV4, rating both models superior for front crash prevention.
All award winners were required to achieve good ratings in five crashworthiness tests and have an available front crash prevention system. TOP SAFETY PICK+ award winners must also have a superior- or advanced-rated front crash prevention system with automatic braking capabilities.
