2015 Infiniti Q50 and Q70 Earn Top Safety Pick + From IIHS

In vehicle safety rating tests, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is the top non-governmental organization for measuring how vehicles perform in the event of a crash. They put vehicles through a variety of collision scenarios, and give each one a score based on how well they perform and how safe they keep occupants. They also take into consideration the technology in a vehicle that can help to prevent a crash or lessen its severity.  All of these tests are designed to give car buyers an idea of how the vehicle performs if the worst should happen.

That’s why it is such a huge accomplishment when a vehicle achieves the highest rating possible in IIHS crash tests. This year both the 2015 Infiniti Q50 and the 2015 Infiniti Q70 have received the Top Safety Pick + rating – the IIHS’s highest accolade. Only 33 vehicles out of the hundreds tested managed to meet the criteria and be awarded this important achievement.

What Safety Features Does IIHS Test?

The IIHS puts every vehicle they test through a rigorous series of real-life collisions in a lab environment, where the results are measured and analyzed. Each test simulates an actual real-world crash that drivers and occupants might experience. The IIHS tests include: Front overlap crash tests (small and moderate) Side-impact crash test Rollover/roof strength test Head restraint and seating test Front crash prevention test (for Top Safety Pick + rating)

In order to qualify for a Top Safety Pick + rating in this year’s test, vehicles for the first time ever had to include the ability to slow down or stop to avoid a collision without driver intervention. Infiniti’s Forward Emergency Braking and Predictive Forward Collision Warning systems are what qualified the Q50 and Q70 for this year’s top rating.
