That's especially true when you're looking at a crossover or SUV for your family. That's why we're proud to offer so many vehicles that have been designed to keep you safer on the road, including the 2019 Toyota RAV4. This capable crossover just received one of the biggest safety awards around.

After submitting it to a number of tests, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has named the 2019 Toyota RAV4 a Top Safety Pick Plus! Not just any car can get this award. A vehicle has to perform well in crash tests and show that it's offering features that can actually help you avoid an accident in the first place.

The IIHS looks at how a vehicle holds up in various crash tests. The car is evaluated from each angle and probed for weakness. Whether it's a head-on collision or you get t-boned, the job of your vehicle is the same. It's supposed to keep you as safe as possible. The 2019 Toyota RAV4 showed that it could do that, even performing well enough in small overlap crashes to get the required “Good” rating on all six tests.

Then the IIHS looks at front crash prevention technology. The 2019 Toyota RAV4 was able to avoid a collision at twelve miles per hour and twenty-five miles per hour, earning the highest Superior rating. Finally, this group takes a closer look at each vehicle's headlights. Select trim levels of the 2019 Toyota RAV4 come equipped with curve-adaptive LED projector headlights that met the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety's highest standards, earning a Good rating and the Top Safety Pick Plus designation.
