Right now, the enthusiast world is still brimming with excitement over the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla. The 300-horsepower, all-wheel-drive hot hatchback officially debuted late on March 31 but that's not the only recent Corolla news. Just prior to the GR Corolla's launch, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shared something a bit less exciting, but likely of greater interest to Corolla buyers in general.
For 2022, the Corolla sedan and hatchback receive the organization's Top Safety Pick+ award. It's the highest rating available for a passenger vehicle, and is only awarded when a vehicle meets numerous crash standards while offering certain safety systems and decent lighting. Specifically, Top Safety Pick+ winners must have good ratings in six crash evaluations for side and roof structures, head restraints, and multiple front collision tests.
