2025 TOP SAFETY PICKs Skip to content Vehicle ratings News Research areas About Home Vehicle ratings TOP SAFETY PICKs 2025 Home Vehicle ratings TOP SAFETY PICKs 2025 2025 Top Safety Picks Overview 2025 award winners 2025 criteria Other years Vehicles that perform best in our evaluations qualify for Top Safety Pick, which has been awarded since the 2006 model year, or Top Safety Pick+, which was inaugurated in 2013. These awards identify the best vehicle choices for safety within size categories during a given year. Larger, heavier vehicles generally afford more protection than smaller, lighter ones. Thus, a small car that qualifies for an award might not protect its occupants as well as a bigger vehicle that doesn't earn the award.
