2014 Corolla Earns Top Safety Pick Award from IIHS

The redesigned Toyota Corolla achieved "good" ratings in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's tests for occupant protection in four of five evaluations, achieving a Top Safety Pick rating.  IIHS evaluates vehicles for performance in a:

1.    moderate overlap front crash
2.    side impact
3.    roof strength/rollover
4.    head restraints & seats/rear impact
5.    small overlap front crash

For the fifth test, the 2014 Corolla earned a marginal rating.  The institute added this new test last year to try to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle strikes another vehicle or an object.
