It’s not easy to earn a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and much harder to earn the plus at the end. But the Toyota Highlander has now won it for the third year running. This is even more impressive considering that crash safety requirements set by the IIHS in its testing are tougher than ever.
Families in the Raleigh, NC area love the 2016 Toyota Highlander because it has some of the best safety scores of any family vehicle out there. The Toyota Highlander improves its already impressive suite of safety features and technology every year, allowing it to stay at the top of the segment when it comes to protecting its occupants. Its rating of Top Safety Pick+ means it scored the highest rating of ‘Good’ on all crash tests, and is equipped with advanced forward collision prevention with full automatic braking.
As if this isn’t impressive enough, it also turns out that according to a study conducted by the IIHS covering the calendar years 2009-2012, the Toyota Highlander AWD is one of only nine models in the entire country to have zero driver deaths per million registered vehicles. Keep in mind the usual is about 28. The Toyota Sequoia 4WD and the Toyota-owned Lexus RX 350 AWD also made this list.
