Leith Nissan Awards and Accolades

IIHS Top Safety Pick

Top Safety Picks

Vehicles that perform best in our evaluations qualify for Top Safety Pick, which as been awarded since 2006 model year, or Top Safety Pick+, which was inaguarated in 2013.

These awards indentify the best vehicle choices for safety within size categories during a given year. Larger, heavier vehicles generally afford more protection than smaller, ligher 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.
