In order for a vehicle to win itself a TOP SAFETY PICK designation, it must receive certain ratings in the different areas that the IIHS examines. This includes a ‘Good’ rating in each of the six crashworthiness evaluations the organization puts it through, as well as a rating of ‘Good’ or ‘Acceptable’ for headlights and either ‘Advanced’ or ‘Superior’ ratings for available front crash prevention technologies. The following two vehicles were recognized as TOP SAFETY PICK winners for 2022:
