2017 Toyota Camry
Another shocker, the 2017 Toyota Camry is one of the safest cars on the road. What may be unexpected is that, like the Accord, the Camry’s advanced LED lighting is substandard.
Only the halogen projector-equipped XLE, XSE and XLE Hybrid models are TSP+ rated, while all other trims fall flat on lighting. Also, the 2017 Toyota Camry must be equipped with the optional Pre-Collision System to qualify.
Midsize Luxury cars
2017 Lincoln MKZ
One of the better-looking cars on the midsize luxury list, the 2017 Lincoln MKZ needs better lighting to achieve TSP+ rating. However, its front crash protection is one of the best when it’s equipped with optional Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection.
Don’t overlook the Lincoln MKZ based on headlights alone. After all, we all have our minor flaws, don’t we?
2017 BMW 3 Series
One of the most popular midsize luxury sedans, the 2017 BMW 3 Series hits the list. When you’re paying a premium price, you’d expect it, but maybe you shouldn’t.
When equipped with Frontal Collision Warning and Collision Mitigation systems and curve-adaptive LED headlights, the 3 Series is a Top Safety Pick + model, yet only the ones built after November 2016. Before that, small overlap crash ratings just miss the mark because of potential lower leg injuries.
