It qualified as a Top Safety Pick after receiving the highest score of Good in front-, side-impact, rear and roof-strength crash tests. In each test, vehicles are rated as Good, Acceptable, Marginal or Poor.
Aside from updates made to quiet the cabin and a transmission recalibration, Mitsubishi also strengthened the compact crossover’s roof, improving protection in the case of a rollover. However, IIHS cautions that the award applies only to the 2012 model.
