What is the IIHS safety ratings of our new Toyota mean?

  • Crash worthiness: This category is based on how well a vehicle protects passengers in the event of a crash. Each vehicle is put through five crash tests, including moderate overlap front, small overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints. The vehicle is given a rating of good, acceptable, marginal or poor, based on their performance in these tests. Only vehicles that earn a good rating in these tests are named IIHS Top Safety Picks. 
  • Crash avoidance and mitigation: This category is based on the technology that our new Toyota have to help drivers avoid collisions and/or lesson the severity of a crash. The available front crash avoidance system in each vehicle is given a rating of basic, advanced or superior. A car must place in this category to become an IIHS Top Safety Pick+.
