However, some vehicles have consistently been rated as being among the safest on the market by independent safety organizations such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the United States and the Euro NCAP in Europe.
Some of the vehicles that have received high safety ratings include:
- Toyota Prius
- Honda Accord
- Subaru Outback
- Volvo XC90
- Mercedes-Benz E-Class
- Audi A6
- Tesla Model S
- BMW 5 Series
- Hyundai Sonata
- Kia Optima
It's important to note that even the safest cars can be involved in accidents, and no vehicle is completely accident-proof. Safe driving practices, such as obeying speed limits, avoiding distracted driving, and wearing a seatbelt, are essential for reducing the risk of an accident regardless of the car you drive.
