2023 Tesla Model Y – Side Impact Crash Test

2023 Tesla Model Y side crash test - rating Good - TOP SAFETY PICK+

The biggest change to the criteria for both awards is the replacement of the original IIHS side crash test with the updated evaluation launched in 2021. The updated test involves 82 percent more energy than the original test. Vehicles must earn an acceptable or good rating to qualify for TOP SAFETY PICK, while a good rating is required for the “plus.”
