2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E: IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Winner

The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E has earned the prestigious Top Safety Pick+ designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the organization’s highest safety award. This recognition highlights the Mach-E’s excellent performance in crash tests, as well as its advanced standard safety technologies. For families and EV shoppers in Allentown, PA, it’s a strong indication that this electric SUV is a perfect match for those who want great performance without sacrificing safety. 

Outstanding Crash Test Results

To qualify for the Top Safety Pick+ designation, a vehicle must earn top marks in a series of crashworthiness and crash avoidance evaluations. The 2025 Mustang Mach-E achieved the highest possible rating—Good—in all major crash tests, including:

• Small Overlap Front: Driver and Passenger Side
  These tests simulate a collision where only a small portion of the front corner hits another vehicle or object. The Mach-E maintained cabin structure well and protected occupants from serious injuries, with dummies showing low injury risk across the board. 
• Updated Moderate Overlap Front Test
  In this newer test, which uses dummies in both the front and rear seats, the Mach-E again earned a Good rating. Both front and back seat occupants were well protected from serious injury. 
• Updated Side Impact Test
  With a heavier barrier striking the side of the vehicle at higher speeds than previous tests, this is one of the most challenging evaluations. The Mach-E scored a Good rating overall, with particularly strong protection for the head and torso areas. 

Advanced Safety Systems and Lighting

To receive a Top Safety Pick+ award, vehicles must also offer effective crash prevention technology and quality headlights. The 2025 Mach-E meets these standards with:

• Standard Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
  This system earned a Good rating for its ability to detect and brake for pedestrians during both day and night. It’s a key feature for city and suburban driving. 
• Good-Rated Headlights on All Trims
  Many vehicles are penalized for offering poor-performing headlights on base trims, but the Mach-E delivers consistent, effective lighting across all models, making night driving safer. 

Child Safety and Family Features

The Mach-E’s LATCH system for car seats was rated Acceptable, with clearly marked anchors and reasonably easy access. Combined with strong rear-seat crash protection, this makes the Mach-E a practical choice for families in the Lehigh Valley area.
