The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the new Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX SUVs Top Safety Picks, the group’s highest award. To get the nod, both SUVs had to earn the top rating of Good for frontal, side- and rear-impact crash tests. The Edge is already seeing brisk sales and adding such a highly regarded safety rating will certainly help future sales.
The Ford Fusion sedan was revamped slightly so it could be retested after earning a poor grade in side-impact tests without airbags and only Acceptable with optional side airbags. Now, the Fusion comes with standard side airbags which have been upgraded and the Fusion is now rated Good in side impact tests as well as frontal tests. Only a marginal rating in rear impacts kept it from being a Top Safety Pick.
