IIHS Top Safety Pick for 2010 Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger

It seems that the 2010 Chrysler Sebring and 2010 Dodge Avenger are quite efficient when it comes to keeping their occupants away from injuries, as both cars have received the Top Safety Picks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

"A vehicle that earns the Top Safety Pick designation provides the best overall protection in the three most common kinds of crashes,"
said Adrian Lund, President - Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. "Top-level crash-test performance plus electronic stability control to help keep drivers out of crashes are the tough criteria needed to earn this award."

According to the IIHS results, both models have passive features, including pre-tensioning seat belt retractors and supplemental side-curtain air bags, which are combined with accident-avoidance features, including responsive steering, braking, handling and Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

"We are proud to receive the highest possible ratings from IIHS for the Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger," said Scott Kunselman, Senior Vice President - Engineering, Chrysler Group LLC. "These sought-after achievements highlight Chrysler's leadership in safety and security technology and occupant protection."

Available safety equipment on the 2010 Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger includes ESC with traction control, Brake Assist and ABS, driver and front-passenger active head restraints, front seat-mounted side airbags and advanced multi-stage front airbags. The two vehicles are also equipped with Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) for child safety seats.
