Reed Factor safety news you can use. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport as a TOP SAFETY PICK+. This is the highest possible rating issued by the independent, non-profit group.
The new Bronco Sport scored a rating of good in all six of the IIHS crashworthiness tests, the top rating in each category. The IIHS tests included a driver- and passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraints.
“As the Bronco of small SUVs, Bronco Sport was engineered to help our customers get out and adventure, both on- and off-road, and to do so safely,” said Hau Thai-Tang, Ford chief product platform and operations officer. “This IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating validates that commitment.”
For a vehicle to qualify for TOP SAFETY PICK+, it must also be available with a front crash prevention system that earns advanced or superior ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations. Ratings of good or acceptable for headlights must be standard on all models, regardless of trim level.
This prestigeous IIHS award is the latest of many honors and accolades earned by the all-new Bronco Sport, including Popular Science’s Best of What’s New 2020 and Esquire magazine’s Best Compact/Midsize SUV.
