The well regarded automotive industry expert, Kelley Blue Book has just released its ‘Best Safety Rated Sedans of 2016’. The list prioritised features such as crash test rating, EPA estimates and consumer ratings gathered through the KBB website. Out of the 42 cars granted this status by KBB, we have shortlisted this to best luxury safety cars of 2016, offering both top tier safety standards and elite luxury features.<\/p>\n
If for no other reason, the Tesla Model S will go down the annals of history for being the first car to drive off purely electric power and yet still have great practical utility and viability in terms of recharging. Yet in case another reason is needed, another hallmark for the Tesla Model S is its high safety rankings. It achieved the maximum 5 star rating in the NTSA overall crash testing, while the standard pollution quotient normally applied to KBB tested cars was just not applicable to the Model S.<\/p>\n
The IS is the Lexus that provides entry level into the prestigious luxury brand, as it is targeted towards professionals and families. Therefore while it is imbued with high performance capabilities it also holds strong rankings for safety testings, having achieved full marks from the NTSA overall crash testing. With a score of 19\/26 MPG the Lexus IS rated #6 out of 17 for fuel economy and #11 out of 17 for horsepower.<\/p>\n
