The Nissan Kicks has entered the automotive market with a bold statement, showcasing innovation and excellence. Among its standout features is its advanced safety technology, which has earned it the prestigious Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick designation for 2024. While its striking debut is impressive, the Kicks goes beyond aesthetics, meeting the IIHS's rigorous new safety standards for vehicles on today's roads.
About the IIHS Top Safety Pick Standards
Achieving an IIHS Top Safety Pick designation is no easy feat, as it requires vehicles to meet strict testing criteria. To qualify, a vehicle must earn a "Good" rating in front overlap, side-impact, and moderate front-impact crash tests. Additionally, vehicles need at least an "Acceptable" score for pedestrian crash prevention, with "Good" being ideal. Headlights are also evaluated, requiring a rating of "Acceptable" or "Good." These benchmarks ensure that awarded vehicles provide reliable safety across various scenarios.
