These Evs Are Top Rated For Safety By The Iihs
Share

The 2024 Subaru Solterra joins a handful of other electric vehicles in earning the industry’s hardest safety award with a Top Safety Pick+ recognition, the IIHS revealed Thursday. 

The IIHS toughened requirements to earn its highest Top Safety Pick+ and second-tier Top Safety Pick awards for 2024. Some 91 models still qualified for at the very least one among the awards, with 38 earning the Top Safety Pick+ award. That compares to 65 models which earned one among the IIHS awards for 2023, when the agency also updated its criteria to make its awards tougher to acquire.

The next electric vehicles earned a TSP+:

  • Genesis Electrified G80
  • Genesis GV60
  • Genesis Electrified GV70
  • Hyundai Ioniq 5
  • Hyundai Ioniq 6
  • Rivian R1T
  • Subaru Solterra
  • Tesla Model Y RWD

A handful of models earned the lower Top Safety Pick award. That list includes:

  • Audi Q4 E-Tron and Q4 Sportback
  • Audi Q8 E-Tron and Q8 Sportback
  • Lexus RZ
  • Kia EV9
  • Nissan Ariya
  • Rivian R1S
  • Tesla Model Y AWD
  • Toyota Prius Prime
  • Volkswagen ID.4

The IIHS introduced a tougher side crash test for 2023, using a heavier barrier traveling at the next speed when impacting a automotive. An “Acceptable” or “Good” rating was sufficient to earn a Top Safety Pick award last yr, but for 2024 only the highest “Good” rating qualifies vehicles for an award.

Vehicles also needed an “Acceptable” or “Good” rating within the updated pedestrian front-crash prevention test for 2024. This test combines daytime and nighttime scenarios, which were previously scored individually.

The IIHS also introduced an updated moderate front-overlap test for 2024, which adds a second crash test dummy behind the motive force and appears closer at rear seat safety. An “Acceptable” or “Good” rating on this test was needed for the Top Safety Pick+ award, while a “Good” rating on the old test was needed for a Top Safety Pick award.

As before, vehicles also needed a “Good” rating within the IIHS’ small-overlap front crash tests and “Good” or “Acceptable” headlights on all trim levels to earn either award.

There’s been plenty of discuss EV safety, although not necessarily related to crash performance. The IIHS warned last yr that fires aren’t an EV safety concern, but weight is. That was backed up by a recent study, which found that EVs could also be too heavy for U.S. highway guardrails.

Meanwhile, the CEO of Stellantis recently argued that quicker acceleration is an EV safety asset—although that is debatable. Don’t expect the IIHS to include that into its safety evaluations.
