It’s time for another round-up of recent IIHS crash tested cars. The trio this time include the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, 2019 Volvo XC90 and 2018 Volvo S90. All three have earned one of the highest ratings from the IIHS, the Top Safety Pick. And all three continue a trend of very safe cars having slightly below-par headlights, preventing them from earning the highest Top Safety Pick+ rating.

Of these three cars, the Corolla Hatchback has the most impressive scores. It earned the highest “Good” rating in every single crash test, including the difficult small-overlap passenger-side collision. It also received the top score for access to LATCH anchors for child seats. The standard forward collision prevention technology also brought home the best score possible, stopping the car before a crash at speeds up to 25 mph. The headlights themselves weren’t particularly bad either, earning the second-highest score of “Acceptable” with both the standard and optional LED headlights.

shared similar scores to the

, with “Good” ratings for all

they participated in, and top rank for their standard forward collision technology. Both vehicles were not tested for the passenger-side small overlap collision, so there is no score in that area. Both also received the “Acceptable” rating for LATCH anchor access. In the headlight department, the

XC90

earned “Acceptable” scores for both of its available headlights, and the

S90

received an “Acceptable” for its optional lights, while the standard ones were rated as “Marginal.”
