IIHS Names 11 Chrysler Group Models Top Safety Picks

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cookeville, Tennessee, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 28, 2011 -- Each year the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety puts together its list of Top Safety Picks for the year. To earn this prestigious title, vehicles must earn the highest rating of Good in three different crash tests – front, rear, and side – and earn the highest rating in the roof strength test. The final piece that all cars must have is standard electronic stability control.

With all these tests and necessary features, it’s no small task to earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick. This year 11 different models under the Chrysler umbrella were named to the list. Under the Chrysler Group falls, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat (which only has one model in the US).

The 11 different models to be named to the list were the Chrysler Town & Country, 300, and 200; Dodge Grand Caravan, Durango, Charger, Journey, and Avenger; Jeep Grand Cherokee and Patriot and the Fiat 500.

“With 11 vehicles that have been named Top Safety Pick for 2012 by IIHS, this underscores our commitment to engineering safety and security across all vehicle segments,” said Scott Kunselman, Senior Vice President – Engineering, Chrysler Group LLC. “As we continue our product transformation, we’ll continue to engineer new technology and more capabilities into all our vehicles.”
