The vehicle also needs to earn an Advanced or Superior rating for front crash prevention as well as a score of Acceptable or Good for its headlight performance. To earn a Top Safety Pick+ Award, vehicles need to receive scores of Good on all tests, including the difficult passenger-side small overlap front test and headlight performance.
