To earn the Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must achieve a top rating of “Good” in six crash tests and be available with a front crash prevention system that has an Advanced or Superior rating for both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle ‘ receives -to-pedestrian tests. The vehicle must also have at least one “good” or “acceptable” headlamp system. To earn Top Safety Pick+, a headlight system that meets these ratings must be standard on all trims.

The all-new, all-electric Ioniq 5 has been awarded the highest Top Safety Pick+. It applies to vehicles built after December 2021, when Hyundai modified the front seats to improve headrests.

The 2022 Audi A4 Allroad deserves a Top Safety Pick, but only in its top trim levels, equipped with headlights that pass the test. All fairings have passed all crash tests and crash prevention requirements.

Like the Allroad, the 2022 Compass received Jeep’s Top Safety Pick award for its crash testing and crash prevention capabilities, but didn’t earn the “Plus” designation due to its headlights. The IIHS found that its base LED reflectors are “acceptable” when the vehicle has a high-beam assist, which Jeep added to several trims in May 2022, but base trims without the assistant prevented the compass from reading the “plus” reached status.

Volkswagen’s 2022 Golf R had its tests and headlights in line with IIHS’ top standards and received the highest Top Safety Pick+ award with its ‘acceptable’ LED projection headlights with high beam support on all trims. The Golf GTI also passed all crash and crash prevention tests, but didn’t perform well enough on the headlights on the lower trim levels, earning the Top Safety Pick award.

With any Vehicle that may or may not receive the highest rating based on an available feature, note that the IIHS is a US institute that rates American specification models and Canadian vehicles may have different features in their trim levels.
