IIHS Releases the Initial Batch of 2026 Top Safety Pick Winners
Several vehicles earned the IIHS' top award, but no minivans have made the cut so far this year.

Jaguar’s XE combines the urgency of the BMW 3-Series with the handling ability of the Cadillac ATS, handling refinement of the Lexus IS and a price tag sized below the Audi A4. While it’s still not my “all-around” top pick in this competitive segment it is a close number two and certainly my choice if you’re looking for the most fun for your dollar.
