Safest Cars of 2020

From daily work commutes to family road trips, we spend a lot of time in our cars. In fact, one 2019 study showed that the average American spends nearly 18 days driving a year! With that kind of quality car time, who wouldn’t want the most reliable vehicle they can find?

We’re here to help, highlighting some of the safest cars on the road in 2020 as determined by the U.S. News and World Report’s Best Car Rankings.

These rankings are based on crash test results from the National Highway Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety; they also consider any accident-avoidance technologies the vehicle may have. Performance, interior features, and critics’ ratings also factor into the scores.

Whether you’re car shopping or simply curious about how your vehicle measures up, here are some of the safest cars in each class. Click the vehicle name to learn more.
