*SAFETY CATEGORIES:
.
A.) SAFEST: all crash ratings in top quartile and NHTSA static rollover risk 4/5-Stars (no greater than the average rollover risk for an SUV class vehicle) and multi-vehicle crash factor not greater than 1.0 (driver fatality rate based on class/weight is not greater than the rate for the average passenger vehicle) and headlamp performance rated better than poor and vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention system rated 5/6 (designated "superior" by IIHS which means frontal impact speed is reduced at least 10 m.p.h.). Due to the limited number of vehicles tested for Vehicle-to Passenger front crash prevention system at this time the score for this system is not a criterion for the safest 1%.
.
B.) LEAST SAFE: any crash rating in the bottom quartile and/or NHTSA static rollover risk 1/2/3–Stars (which is above the average risk for an SUV class vehicle) and/or multi-vehicle crash factor above 1.20 (driver fatality rate based on class/weight is at least 20 percent higher than the rate for the average passenger vehicle). Note: A vehicle is not classified as least safe if its only deficiencies are IIHS frontal crash prevention system score and headlamp performance rating.
.
C.) REDUCED SAFETY: a vehicle that is not LEAST SAFE but has a least one crash rating between the top and bottom quartiles and/or multi-vehicle crash factor between 1.00–1.20 and/or IIHS frontal crash prevention system score less than 5 and/or IIHS headlamp performance rated poor.
.
D.) SAFETY INDETERMINATE: any rating unknown, however, all known ratings meet the safest criteria.
** The MULTI-VEHICLE CRASH FACTOR (MVCF) is the ratio of the driver fatality rate for a vehicle based solely on its class and weight versus the average driver fatality rate for all passenger vehicles in multi-vehicle crashes (23 deaths per million registered vehicle-years). It is a measure of vehicle compatibility. The relative weight of a vehicle compared with one it collides with in a head-on crash is a critical determinant of the forces the occupants are subjected to, however, neither size or weight are evaluated in crash test ratings and must be assessed separately.
.
.
*** The Vehicle-to-Vehicle Front Crash Prevention System evaluation conducted by IIHS assigns 1-to-6 points to vehicles equipped with frontal collision-prevention systems. The best score possible is 6 which requires a demonstrated reduction of impact speed of at least 22 m.p.h. Score = 5 demonstrated a reduction of 10-to-21 m.p.h. IIHS classifies scores of 5 or 6 as Superior. [In IIHS's 2018 report evaluating safety equipment they reported that auto-brake systems reduced front-to-rear crashes with injuries by 56 percent.] Vehicles within the safest 1% must receive a score of at least 5 points.
.
.
****The Vehicle-to-Pedestrian Front Crash Prevention System evaluation conducted by IIHS assigns 0-to-6 points to vehicles. Points are awarded based on the average speed reduction measured during five test runs. The best score possible of 6 points is achieved by reducing impact speed by 37 mph when the pedestrian is moving parallel to the vehicle and the system also warns the driver at least 2.1 seconds before impact. Due to the limited number of vehicles tested at this time the score for this system is not a criterion for inclusion in the safest 1%.
***** Some vehicles offer multiple headlamps configurations, depending on trim package and/or optional equipment and may perform differently than those rated above.
