    In order for a vehicle to receive a Top Safety Pick or a Top Safety Pick+ award, one must have Good ratings in all six IIHS crashworthiness tests — driver- and passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraints. Additionally, a candidate must earn a Superior rating in front crash prevention technology tests or an Advanced rating in both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations.

    Top Safety Pick winners must also be available with Good or Acceptable headlights. The “plus” designation is given to models that have Good or Acceptable headlights across all trim levels and packages.

    Meanwhile, 2022 IIHS Top Safety Pick award recipients include models such as Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Santa Cruz, and the Hyundai Venue — all of which are equipped with specific headlights.
