You are always on the lookout for a newer, safer vehicle. Fortunately, cars are getting safer each year, as organizations like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety conduct more rigorous tests, and set higher standards for achievement.
The 2017 Ford Fusion, for example, is the first Fusion to earn the highest rating in the IIHS's small-overlap crash test, which has only been performed since 2012. Though past Fusion models have earned the IIHS's Top Safety Pick award, Ford's engineers are constantly making improvements to keep up with the demands of new tests.
"The 2017 Ford Fusion is our most advanced car yet and we're proud to see it recognized by NHTSA and the IIHS for its safety performance too," said Bill Strickland, chief program engineer, Ford Motor Company. "Great new features include a pedestrian detection system and hands-free parallel and perpendicular parking capability, as well as existing optional lane-keeping assist and Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert."
