20 Safest Cars of 2015

17. Chrysler 200

The Chrysler 200 scored “good” in all areas, and scored “superior” in the front crash prevention test, according to the IIHS. The full speed forward collision warning system avoided a collision at 12 mph, and reduced impact speed by 14 mph at 25 mph. The child seat LATCH system scored “marginal” due to the anchors being too deep in the seat, and difficult to maneuver around. The roof withstood 4.74 times the vehicle’s weight before crushing 5 inches, earning it a “good” score. In the small overlap front test, the Chrysler 200 scored “good” in all areas. Measurements from the dummy showed that there was a low risk of any injury in a crash of this severity. The dummy movement was well controlled, with the airbag and seatbelts keeping the dummy in proper position throughout the crash.
