What Are IIHS Top Safety Picks? 

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is an independent, non-profit organization that is dedicated to improving automotive safety. To help car buyers find the right fit, the IIHS tests and evaluates popular models in the automotive industry. Vehicles undergo a battery of crash tests that will evaluate vehicle and collision-prevention technology strengths in the event of a crash. Tests that are used to evaluate vehicle performance include Driver-Side Small Overlap Front, Passenger-Side Small Overlap Front, Moderate Overlap Front, Side, Roof Strength and Head Restraint. Front Crash Prevention systems and headlights are tested as well with vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian tests.  

Vehicles can achieve one of two top ratings – Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+. To be recognized as an IIHS Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must achieve a Good rating in all crash tests, receive an Advanced or Superior rating for front crash prevention technology and earn Acceptable or Good ratings for available headlights. IIHS Top Safety Pick+ entries must achieve the same crash test and collision prevention ratings with reviews for Standard headlights. Here is a closer look at Lexus models that have earned IIHS Top Safety Pick and IIHS Top Safety Pick+ awards.
