newly crowned IIHS Top Safety Pick+ for the year 2025: Tesla Model Y
Tesla Model Y Continues to Shine in Global Safety Ratings
The Tesla Model Y has once again proven its safety credentials, earning a five-star safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the prestigious Top Safety Pick+ award from the U.S.-based Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for the refreshed model in 2025.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, celebrated the latest recognition for the Model Y, marking the seventh year in a row that a Tesla vehicle has received the IIHS's top honor. However, it's important to note that the Model Y was first introduced in 2020, so it has not been on the market long enough to have a seven-year consecutive history of safety awards.
The Model Y's safety ratings extend globally, with the vehicle earning the highest possible rating from the IIHS, ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program), C-IASI (China Insurance Automotive Safety Index), and Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme). Tesla describes the Model Y's safety performance as a "five-star safety grand slam."
The Model Y's latest IIHS rating further strengthens its position as one of the safest electric vehicles on the market. The vehicle has consistently scored full marks in occupant protection and crash avoidance technologies. This impressive safety performance is attributed to Tesla's engineering rigor and commitment to improving active and passive safety systems.
While the IIHS has tested Tesla's all-electric Cybertruck, it has not yet released its full safety report on the vehicle.
The Model Y has received a long list of international safety accolades across over 20 rigorous crash and safety tests, solidifying its reputation as a safe and reliable choice for consumers. The Model Y's safety ratings are a testament to Tesla's commitment to safety and its ongoing efforts to create vehicles that prioritize the well-being of its passengers.
