Score = 55% primary IIHS tests, 25% selected occupant-protection details, 10% pedestrian front crash prevention, 10% class context. Where two vehicles score the same, the injury measures behind that score break the tie; vehicles matching on both share a rank. Awards are the 2026 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ (TSP+) and Top Safety Pick (TSP). Read the full methodology

Brand grades come from the real-world driver death rates of each brand's older models (or a class-based estimate where a brand has none), not from crash tests. They are context for the brand as a whole and are not part of any vehicle's score. See how the brand grades are built

Questions people ask

What are the 2026 car safety ratings?

This page lists all 197 current models in the IIHS ratings database. 137 have a complete set of the IIHS results we score and are ranked; 60 are still missing at least one test and are shown as awaiting tests. 53 current models hold a 2026 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award and 17 hold a Top Safety Pick.

Which car has the best safety rating in 2026?

The 2027 Tesla Model Y has the highest score, 98.6/100, with an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award. The score is 55% primary IIHS tests, 25% selected occupant-protection details, 10% pedestrian front crash prevention, and 10% class context, and it is applied identically to every vehicle. Where two vehicles score the same, the injury measures behind that score break the tie; vehicles matching on both share a rank. See the full safest-cars ranking.

What is the difference between IIHS and NHTSA ratings?

IIHS is an insurance-industry institute that runs its own crash tests (small-overlap front, updated moderate-overlap front, updated side, and headlights) and grades each Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Poor. NHTSA is the federal agency whose 5-Star Safety Ratings come from different frontal, side, and rollover tests. The score on this page uses IIHS results only. NHTSA stars are shown unweighted on each model page so you can see both without one being blended into the other. Read how crash tests compare with real-world death rates.

How often are these ratings updated?

The IIHS data behind this page was last refreshed on 2026-09-04. IIHS publishes new results throughout the year as it tests vehicles, so ranks and awards can change between refreshes. A model that is awaiting tests moves into the ranked list as soon as its missing result is published.
