Every year, the IIHS presents its long list of car safety award winners, and 2023 is no different. As is tradition, the testing body has awarded the Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick + awards to all types of vehicles.
In total, 48 2023 models won safety awards this year, with 25 of them picking up the Top Safety Pick + medal. If it seems like a low number of award winners, that’s because it is! This year, the agency tightened the rules around its road trials and as a result delivered less than half the number of medals it did in 2022.
In a statement, IIHS President David Harkey said, “The number of winners is smaller this year because we’re challenging automakers to build on the safety gains they’ve already made. … These models they are true standouts in both accident resistance and accident prevention.”
