2023 Top Safety Pick s
Vehicles that perform best in our evaluations qualify for Top Safety Pick , which has been awarded since the 2006 model year, or Top Safety Pick +, which was inaugurated in 2013.
These awards identify the best vehicle choices for safety within size categories during a given year. Larger, heavier vehicles generally afford more protection than smaller, lighter ones. Thus, a small car that qualifies for an award might not protect its occupants as well as a bigger vehicle that doesn’t earn the award.
