Lots of 2018 model year cars are safe, but 62 have been singled out as exceptionally adept at protecting their occupants. And of those, 15 are supposed to be the very safest.
Khodrocar - The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety identifies itself as an independent, non-profit research organization that, among other things, rates cars for safety based on crash survivability and avoidance technology.
Cars are rated by their performance in "high-speed front and side crash tests” including passenger-side impacts and small overlap head-on crashes plus evaluations of roof strength, rollover resilience, seats and head restraints and how well the headlights help you see.
