Safe Cars for Your Family
Rated
by The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
This award recognizes vehicles that do the best job of
protecting people in front, side, and rear crashes based on
ratings in Institute tests. Winners also have to be equipped
with electronic stability control (ESC). Recent Institute
research found that ESC reduces the risk of serious crashes
involving both SUVs and cars. The largest effect is in
single-vehicle crashes, which were reduced 40 percent with the
addition of ESC. Fatal single-vehicle crashes went down 56
percent, and fatal rollovers of cars and SUVs were reduced by
about 80 percent.
