Most of these models carry our Green Choice designation, which highlights the vehicles with the cleanest emissions. We include which active safety features are standard and optional for each model, including automatic emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection, AEB that operates at highway speeds, blind spot warning (BSW), and rear cross traffic warning (RCTW). Note that some models, such as the new Honda Civic Hybrid and the redesigned 2023 Toyota Prius, are not included because we have not tested them yet.
