Following a conversion
to a camera-only system, IIHS said the mid-size SUV's standard front
crash-prevention system earned superior ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle
and vehicle-to-pedestrian tests.
The standard front
crash-prevention system on 2021-22 Tesla Model 3 vehicles built after April
also earned a superior rating in both crash avoidance tests, following a
software update, IIHS said.
To qualify for the
awards, vehicles must earn good ratings in six crashworthiness tests, including
the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front,
moderate overlap front, original side, roof strength and head restraint tests.
They must also be available with a front
crash-prevention system that earns high ratings for vehicle-to-vehicle and
vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations. The vehicles must also score well for
headlights.
Model Y vehicles built after April 2021 meet
all the criteria for the "plus" rating.
IIHS is an industry-funded group that works to reduce traffic crashes, deaths and injuries through research and crash tests.
