2010 Chevy Equinox, Cadillac SRX, GMC Terrain Named Top Safety Picks

2010equinox The redesigned 2010 Chevy Equinox is off to a fast start, selling more than 13,000 units last month. Good news for those new owners, the crossover earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Pick award. To receive the nod, a vehicle must earn a top score of Good in front, side and rear crash tests; it also must be equipped with stability control.

The 2010 Cadillac SRX and the new 2010 GMC Terrain crossovers also earned Top Safety Pick status.

In November, the IIHS will start including roof strength tests into their award program, which will make it much harder for vehicles to get a Top Safety Pick designation.
