20 Safest Cars of 2015

13. Toyota Camry

The Toyota Camry scored “good” in all areas, and “advanced” in the front crash prevention test, according to the IIHS. The optional pre-collision system reduced impact speed by 10 mph in the 12 mph test, and 5 mph in the 25 mph test. The roof withstood 4.78 times its own weight, earning it a “good” rating. The child seat LATCH system earned an “acceptable” rating. Points were deducted because the lower anchors were too deep in the seat, making it hard to hook up a child seat. In the small front overlap test, the Toyota Camry scored an average of “good”, losing points in the structure and safety cage section. The Camry scored an “acceptable” in this section because when the airbag deployed, the dummy’s head nearly slid off the airbag to the left, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with the forward side structure.
