At the forefront of safety innovation and development among automotive manufacturers, Toyota has once again set the standard for safe vehicles. For 2017, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) chose 7 individual Toyota models that earned Top Safety Pick honors in the annual IIHS awards. 5 of these 7 models received 2017 Top Safety Pick+ designations, the best in the industry when combined with Lexus models.
In order to earn a 2017 Top Safety Pick award, vehicles are required to earn good ratings in five crashworthiness tests — small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, head restraint, and roof strength — along with an advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention. Automakers have had to meet more rigorous safety standards, including headlight evaluations which began in 2016.
“At Toyota, our focus remains on the safety and peace of mind of our customers,” said Dino Triantafyllos, Toyota’s North American Chief Quality Officer. “We are proud that our commitment to developing safe and reliable vehicles resulted in such a strong showing in 2017 TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards”.
Toyota remains committed to engineering the safest vehicles on the road. Browse Toyota models which have earned 2017 Top Safety Pick+ awards along with other great choices from our huge inventory of Toyota vehicles here at Toyota of Greensburg!
