IIHS Top Safety Pick, Pick+ criteria get tougher — here's the new list of 2023 winners
for collision warning and prevention systems. Strong performance in both areas is necessary for the best Top Safety Pick+ award, along with yet more improved headlight performance. Unsurprisingly, the more demanding requirements have shrunk the list of award recipients — 48 vehicles, which is down from 101 last year.
To get the basic Top Safety Pick award, vehicles must now earn a top"Good" rating in the standard battery of frontal offset crash tests. In the new side-impact test, which uses a heavier ram vehicle to better emulate crashes with heavier modern cars, vehicles must get a"Good" or second-highest"Acceptable" rating.
For Top Safety Pick+, the requirements are naturally tougher. Only a"Good" rating is accepted for the side-impact test, and vehicles also have to have"Advanced" or"Superior" pedestrian crash prevention ratings at night in addition to the day. The new requirements have significantly shortened the list of Top Safety Pick recipients. With last year's testing, 101 vehicles earned awards. Now just 48 do, with 28 of them still managing to nab the Top Safety Pick+ award. Many vehicles that previous had that coveted"+" have also been demoted to the regular award.
