Safest Cars of 2022

Here is a list of the safest cars in 2022. These cars are ranked from one to five stars by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which tests new vehicles to ensure they are safe for drivers and passengers. The five-star rating is the highest, and helps consumers decide whether a new car is right for their needs. Vehicle safety ratings are printed on a window sticker and Monroney label, and manufacturers routinely feature them in advertisements.

Leader of the pack.

The Cadillac XT6 is one of the two General Motors vehicles to be rated Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS for 2022. This luxury three-row crossover offers upscale interior features, including a power heated front seat, an excellent sound system, and Bluetooth connectivity. Driver assistance features include lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and front and rear park assist. It also scores high in crashworthiness, and comes standard with the safety features you'd expect from a top-notch luxury vehicle.

Family First

The Toyota Camry is another top pick for families, and many parents are raving about its impact protection. It received perfect scores in every NHTSA crash-test category, including front impact, side-impact, and rollover. Its 2021 model is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+, a suite of advanced driver-assist systems, including forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Additionally, the ES also includes blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert.
