Toyota Brand Leads Industry in IIHS ‘Top Safety Pick’ with New RAV4 Award

The 2013 Toyota RAV4 sport utility vehicle has earned the Top Safety Pick (TSP) Award for good performance from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Institute (IIHS) noted Toyota improved the RAV4′s roof structure to earn a good rating for rollover protection.

With 13 segment award recipients, the Toyota brand has more 2013 Top Safety Picks than any other automotive brand.  Both Lexus and Scion each have four TSP winners on the list.

To qualify for the Top Safety Pick, vehicles must have good ratings for occupant protection in the moderate overlap frontal test, side impact, rollover and rear tests, regardless of their small overlap rating.  The award recognizes vehicles that perform best in these tests administered by the IIHS, which the IIHS believes predict good performance in protecting people in front, side, rollover and rear crashes.
