Glen Toyota General Manager Robert Daland is not surprised at this model’s high marks.
“The Prius truly is a phenomenal family car,” he says. “Not only does it have a better impact on the environment than most other vehicles, but it can save families a tremendous amount of money in gas over the course of a year. It’s also known to be one of the safest vehicles in its class, which is undoubtedly a high priority for parents who transport their children on a regular basis.”

About these awards
This year’s ratings were split up into several categories because families come in different sizes and have varying transportation needs. NHTSA safety ratings are based on the vehicles’ performances in frontal crash, side crash, and rollover safety tests. Safety ratings from the publication itself were based on data from a variety of published reviews, federal safety studies, and test drives.
