The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is awarding its new Top Safety Pick+ accolade to 13 cars. All cars earned good or acceptable ratings in the new IIHS small overlap test as well as top marks in other IIHS evaluations.

Winners include:
Acura TL
Dodge Avenger and its twin, the Chrysler 200 4-door
Ford Fusion
Honda Accord 2-door
Honda Accord 4-door
Kia Optima
Nissan Altima 4-door
Subaru Legacy and its twin, the Subaru Outback
Suzuki Kizashi
Volkswagen Passat
Volvo S60.

The Acura TL and Volvo S60 are midsize luxury cars. The other models are midsize moderately priced cars.

“Of the 29 models evaluated so far in our small overlap frontal crash test, these 13 cars offer the highest level of all-around crash protection,” says Adrian Lund, IIHS president. “We’re pleased to recognize them with our new Top Safety Pick+ award for 2013.”

As IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles the list obviously is not the best and does not include lot of great cars from sports cars to big SUVs.
