“Top Safety Pick” from IIHS: 2016 BMW X1 Crossover- Braman BMW

If you’ve been thinking about heading over to Braman BMW and asking them about the perfect vehicle to drive off the lot, now is the perfect time. Especially if one of your top priorities is safety. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has recently chosen the 2016 BMW X1 Crossover as a Top Safety Pick.

This is the IIHS’s highest rating. It shows that for all five of the “crashworthiness” tests to which the BMW X1 was subjected, it passed with a “good” score. The rating of “good” is also the top rating available for passing a crashworthiness test. Additionally, the X1 received the highest marks possible for its front crash prevention system. The tests include the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraint safety. The tests are rigorous and exhaustive; BMW engineers worked as meticulously as ever to ensure the X1 earned this top rating for valued customers.

BMW’s front crash prevention system works to help reduce speeds so the impact is not as severe as it would otherwise be. For example, if the vehicle is moving at 25 mph, the system reduces that speed by 7 mph. It also has a forward collision warning component. All of these components work together to provide the X1 with an advanced rating from the IIHS.
