Good job 2010 Sebring and Avenger!

The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) just announced that the 2010 Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger have received the Top Safety Pick Award.

According to the website, the 2010 Chrysler Sebring had good performance in front, side, and rear tests and optional electronic stability control (ESC).

The new 2010 Sebring and Avenger has more than 30 safety functions – including ESC – which is not something every midsize vehicle in the segment can claim. Standard features (standard!!!) include active head restraints, multi-stage air bags, all-speed traction control, anti-lock brakes, crumple zones, side guard door beams, and side-curtain air bags and seat mounted side air bags offering additional side impact protection.

Among the most important safety traits are the “passive” functions, or those that operate independently of the driver input. For instance, advanced multi-stage air bags deploy based on crash severity. This helps protect occupants in a variety for crash scenarios.

Chrysler may be down, but they aren't out!
