Top Five Safest Cars 2022

When it comes to automotive safety, the new breed of cars for 2022 are among the safest ever built. We can thank ever-improving crash test standards and high-tech driver safety features for these safer vehicles. For our look at the top five safest cars for 2022, we picked sedans with the highest scores based on crash test data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). They also tick all the boxes for reliability and handling, and all have rearview cameras and vehicle stability control as standard features.

 

These sedans and hatchbacks all come with the very latest driver assist and safety technology to help make them the safest cars on the road. For instance, did you know that cars equipped with automatic emergency braking are half as likely to be involved in rear-end collisions with the cars in front of them than those without this safety technology? A study by the IIHS regarding automatic emergency braking so impressed a group of 20 automakers that they decided to make this technology a standard feature on all vehicles for 2022.
