A few years ago, spending big bucks on a luxury badge was your sole option if you wanted the most advanced safety tech. They were the only vehicles that had all the gizmos needed to keep you from rear-ending others. Times change, though, and mainstream automakers have raised the bar. Subaru even has a perfect score on the IIHS front crash prevention test on all but one model. Here are 20 crossovers and SUVs with available forward collision prevention features from mainstream automakers, categorized by size.
Subcompact: Mazda CX-3
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking
IIHS Front Crash Prevention Rating: Not Yet Tested
Based on the subcompact Mazda2, the Mazda CX-3 slots below the larger CX-5 and is the automakers entry-level crossover. However, that doesn’t mean the CX-3 is equipped as cheaply as possible. It has an extensive array of tech features and—in the case of the Grand Touring trim—a class-above interior.
Subcompact: Jeep Renegade
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking
IIHS Front Crash Prevention Rating: Advanced
Jeep’s smallest SUV, the Renegade, is perhaps the only subcompact entry that’s capable of off-road stints thanks to the Trailhawk variant. The baby Jeep doesn’t skimp on safety, either. It’s got nearly everything to keep you from getting into an accident.
Subcompact: Subaru Crosstrek
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking
IIHS Front Crash Prevention Rating: Superior
A recent comparison test winner, the Subaru Crosstrek offers versatility, all-weather traction, and plenty of ground clearance in a city-friendly package. The available EyeSight safety suite ensures that you’ve got an extra pair of eyes when navigating the urban jungle.
Subcompact: Fiat 500X
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking
IIHS Front Crash Prevention Rating: Advanced
Want a Fiat 500 but need four doors and all-wheel drive? Well, the quirky Italian automaker has a solution for you in the form of the 500X. The 500X brings all the charm you’d expect from the diminutive Cinquecento and gives it some all-weather capability so you can travel everywhere in Italian style.
Compact: Honda CR-V
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking
IIHS Front Crash Prevention Rating: Superior
Currently the segment leader in terms of sales, the Honda CR-V offers space and practicality in spades thanks to 70.9 cubic feet of maximum cargo space and generous passenger space all around. In addition to the cutting-edge safety tech, you’ll also appreciate the CR-V’s fuel economy, which is one of the best in class at 26/33 mpg city/highway for front-drive models (25/31 mpg with all-wheel drive).
Compact: Toyota RAV4
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking
IIHS Front Crash Prevention: Superior
The Toyota RAV4 gives you a well-rounded package that offers cutting-edge safety, excellent fuel economy, all-weather traction, and up to 194 hp in the hybrid variant. Regardless of whether you opt for the standard RAV4 or the hybrid, you’ll have a crossover with one of the largest interiors.
Compact: Nissan Rogue
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking
IIHS Front Crash Prevention Rating: Basic (Automatic Braking feature not yet tested)
Now more family-friendly than ever, the Nissan Rogue offers plenty of class-above features to keep your clan safe and comfortable. The car’s EPA fuel economy rating of 26/33 mpg city/highway for front drive variants (25/32 mpg with all-wheel drive) should also keep you away from gas stations and on the road longer.
Compact: Mazda CX-5
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking
IIHS Front Crash Prevention Rating: Superior
The Mazda CX-5 is the compact crossover for driving enthusiasts thanks to its nimble handling, communicative steering, and peppy 184-hp, 2.5-liter I-4. After a refresh for 2016, the CX-5 gains Mazda’s newest infotainment system and upgraded active safety technologies.
Compact: Subaru Forester

Need a rally-inspired family-hauler that’s also one of the safest cars on the road? Consider the Subaru Forester.

Compact: Jeep Cherokee
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking
IIHS Front Crash Prevention Rating: Superior
If you really need a crossover that has some rock-crawling capability, the Jeep Cherokee should fit the bill, especially in Trailhawk guise. Opt for the 271-hp, 3.2-liter V-6 if you want the most powerful engine available on the car.
Compact: Kia Sportage
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking
IIHS Front Crash Prevention Rating: Not Yet Tested
Bolder and cheekier than before, the redesigned 2017 Kia Sportage lets you stand out without sacrificing active safety features. Should you need a burst of speed to go with your polarizing crossover, the Sportage is also available with a 240-hp, 2.0-liter turbo-four.
Compact: Hyundai Tucson

Sexier and more upscale than the model it replaces, the 2016 Hyundai Tucson punches above its weight and offers tech that you’d normally find in cars twice its price.

Midsize: Mitsubishi Outlander
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking

Midsize: Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking
IIHS Front Crash Prevention Rating: Not Yet Tested

Midsize: Nissan Murano
Available Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Braking
IIHS Front Crash Prevention Rating: Superior
Style remains the Nissan Murano’s trump card, and the newest generation takes it up a notch thanks to its bold exterior design. The same 260-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 as before powers the Murano, but a new CVT ensures that it’s also more efficient with an EPA rating of 21/28 mpg city/highway for front- and all-wheel-drive variants.
Midsize: Kia Sorento
Available Forward Collision Warning
IIHS Crash Prevention Rating: Basic
The Kia Sorento features a plush interior that feels more premium than many cars in its class. Available in five- or seven-passenger configuration and a choice of four- or six-cylinder power, the Sorento offers a configuration to fit everyone’s tastes and needs.
