To earn TOP SAFETY PICK+ vehicles must receive good ratings in at least 4 of 5 tests and no less than acceptable in the fifth test.
To earn TOP SAFETY PICK vehicles must receive good ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, rollover and rear tests, regardless of their ratings in the small overlap front test.

Crash avoidance features
Crash avoidance features are rapidly making their way into the vehicle fleet. Six of the most common new technologies are forward collision warning, auto brake, lane departure warning, lane departure prevention, adaptive headlights and blind spot detection. Another crash avoidance feature, electronic stability control (ESC), significantly reduces crash risk by helping drivers maintain control of their vehicles during emergency maneuvers. ESC is a federal requirement for all vehicles starting with the 2012 model year.
