The IIHS or Insurance Institute for Highway safety is the leading organization in North America when it comes to determining vehicle safety.

In order to compile their ranking, the IIHS and Consumer Reports combined their data to create a list of the vehicles that offer the highest safety rating along with the best reliability scores.
