If this is true for you, you may be wondering about SUVs with the best safety ratings. At Holman, we offer a wide range of SUVs with good safety ratings, including many Top Safety Pick SUVs according to the IIHS. No matter if you are in search of safe luxury SUVs or safe mid-size SUVs, there truly is something for everyone.

IIHS Ratings 

The SUVs listed below have all been evaluated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The organization evaluates two aspects of safety: crashworthiness — how well a vehicle keeps passengers protected in the event of a collision — and crash avoidance and mitigation — features that work to prevent a crash or lessen its severity. Each model featured below has earned the distinction of Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+.

Top Safety Pick
