And six airbags, and four channel ABS, and Brake Override System, and Electronic Brake-force Distribution, and Brake Assist, and Vehicle Stability Control, and.... well, you get the idea

Here is the article on the IIHS site, for more details! Click the "2013 Models" links for the breakdown.

The only slight downside is an acceptable rating to possible torso injuries in a side impact, other than that, everything is top notch.
