Every year the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awards the safest vehicles with a Top Safety Pick+ rating, and both the Q50 and Q70 brought home that award in 2015. The IIHS performs crash tests to determine which vehicles deserve the award. To earn a Top Safety Pick+ award, vehicles must qualify as Top Safety Picks and get an “advanced” or “superior” rating in front crash prevention.
INFINITI’s vehicles performed extremely well in front crash safety, and they stood out because of their Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) technology. FEB alerts drivers to potential crash hazards with visual and auditory warnings, and it also partially applies the breaks. In addition, the optional Predictive Forward Collision Warning features in both vehicles warns drivers of hazards that may not be visible.
