2017 BMW Models Named IIHS Top Safety Picks

Jan 26, 2017

No one anticipates a car accident, but everyone wants to be prepared. With the new 2017 BMW X1 and 2017 BMW 2-Series, drivers in the Fayetteville, NC can benefit from not only gorgeous looks and thrilling performance, but protection in any potential collision. This is the second time in a row the X1 has been named a Top Safety Pick, and the fourth time in a row for the 2-Series.

Any vehicle you buy today will be equipped with airbags and crumple zones, but to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick designation, the engineers at BMW had to go much further. Vehicles are scored in five categories:

Small overlap frontal collision performance
Moderate overlap frontal collision performance
Side collision performance
Roof strength in a rollover
Seat/head restraint protection

Top scores in these five crash tests, in addition to available autonomous braking, earned these BMW models a Top Safety Pick rating.
