Volt Picks Up Top Safety Pick+ Honor from IIHS

摘要

The Chevrolet Volt has earned a 2014 Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. IIHS recently evaluated 12 small vehicles for crashwor-thiness, after subjecting them to a small overlap front crash test. The Volt was the only car in the test group to be named a Top Safety Pick+ because of its optional forward collision warning system. The Mini Cooper Countryman was the only car to earn a "good" overall rating because of its crash test performance. The Mini Cooper Countryman, Ford C-Max Hybrid, Mitsubishi Lancer, and the Scion FR-S and its twin the Subaru BRZ all qualified for Top Safety Pick, the institute's second-highest award. These models missed the "plus" award because they don't have an available front crash prevention system, according to the IIHS.
