One of the most relevant Fiat dealerships serving Phoenix AZ, Fiat of Scottsdale, is proud to showcase the all-new 2012 Fiat 500, a vehicle that has just been selected as one of the “Top Safety Pick” award recipients for 2011. The new Fiat 500 becomes the ninth car from Chrysler Group to receive this honor from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

This coveted award was created to recognize vehicles that demonstrate “good” performance in the event of rollover, front, side and rear collisions. The Vehicle Research Center at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) performs strict tests to the cars before submitting their individual safety rankings. Moreover, vehicles must feature electronic stability control, a standard feature on all Fiat 500 models.

“At Fiat, safety has always been a priority, and this objective has enabled the Fiat 500 to be recognized by international safety organizations for achieving new levels of crashworthiness for an A-segment car,” said Laura Soave, Head of Fiat Brand North America. “For the U.S. market, the new Fiat 500 will continue the brand’s pursuit and we fully expect we will be recognized as an industry leader with its innovative approach to vehicle safety.”
