I'm not surprised with these results. Subaru and Honda have dominated the IIHS top picks for years. Safety has definitely been a top priority for those brands for many years. I have a 2020 Honda CR-V, and was considered a Top Safety Pick at the time.

Shari, Thanks for your review. Both our Outback and our Forester are 19 year models with very low mileage. We’ll be driving them a very long time.

After having my 2015 Accord totaled in an accident a few months back, having a safe and practical car as my daily driver was a top priority. Really happy with the new Civic. It has the size of my old accord with updated safety features and more air bags along with being very enjoyable to drive.

What market adjustment? All car dealerships do that after you pay off a car. This isn't a new thing that's happening. And dealerships are loaded with cars at the moment at least in my area. Still not going to get a good deal like in the past. I bought my RAV4 in 2015 with 29k miles for 17k from a Toyota dealer with the included 7 year 100k warranty not getting that type of deal now. I'm running it until dead or needs any expensive repairs. It's never been in the shop past tires and inspection and the other stuff I can fix if needed like suspension.

I was hot at 55mph by a truck thrown into the tiny hatchback in front of me which was a full car length away. I and the car in front of me were both at a dead stop on the highway. A truck going too fast swerved around us and the lady tailgating him struck us. My car was picked up off theground and flew into the hatch back in front of me. The back tires slammed down first then three front tires. I was driving a 1999 chevy cavalier. It cracked the back bumper and chipped the paint on the front. No air bags went off we were all fine and i drove to my tattoo apt ! The truck was drivable but had pretty good front end damage. The hatch back (honda i believe) had a long dent in the hatchback from my grill that comes to a point.

Can someone kindly explain to me that why did Mazda CX-30 4-door SUV get "2023 Top Safety Pick" instead of "+"? I found Cx-30 4-d suv matched all the required criteria for "+". Thanks in advance

volvo XC 90 is the top safe car in the world by far. No other car gets even close. I have one for 13 years now and nothing compares. Not my Mercedes cars or my Fierro or anything at all. Just hands down the safest car on earth. They are built like tanks and are driving like a sport car.

Hopefully I don't get into an accident any time soon, but I don't drive like an Ahole, either! You didn't list the MAIN causes of accidents. I would really like to know. Speeding? DUI's? Weather conditions? I was taught to drive defensively, YEARS ago! It also helped me to stay alive with my motorcycles. Don't follow anybody too closely, don't get distracted by 'media', don't do 70 in a 45, know where other cars are around you at all times....

Did the Lincoln Navigator or Aviator not get tested or make the cut?

Please explain what are the updated tests. You often say models which previously were top choices, missed the list because of the updated testing. What's different about the testing?

@carhelpcorner

I touched on this briefly in the intro. The impact strength of the side crash test and small overlap crash test were increased (now 4200lbs) this year to better represent the increasing number of trucks/SUVs on today's roads. This caused many past winners to now fail.

Something I noticed through shopping and looking up these ratings: A lot of the one's you're saying are the safest don't have BOTH the updated Side and Moderate tests done. Usually it's just one, probably because they know they'll fail? So it's not really comparing apples to apples. It appears almost no car passed with full marks in the updated testing from what I've seen so far.

Real world is not the same as standardized testing. BMW X3’s zero deaths/ mill registered vehicles show that. A lot of the cars here have not gone through all the updated iihs testing so their grades may change. Still these tests are still a good indicator though.

The IIKS safety awards have an inverse relationship with real life survivability. only 5 percent of "Top"picks make the top 20 percentile of real life survivability, while the other 80 percent of BEST real life cars score only 2-4 stars on IIHS scoring, Leading Japanese makers design only for test score requirements with no concern for real life performance, and have no proactive design protocols to go beyond minimum legal requirements. They also have applied legal pressure to testers not to consider injury to crash test dummies as part of final score.
