Eleven vehicles with a driver death rating of zero
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, there are 11 vehicles that have a driver death rate of zero. These statistics were compiled for the 2014 model year and are the latest numbers available. So, while they may not directly apply to brand-new 2018 models currently on sale, it's still useful information for anyone looking to buy a late-model vehicle.
Note that the IIHS sometimes breaks down its ratings to a specific variant of an automobile. Some models have ratings that very between front- or all-wheel drive, for example, as you'll soon see as you scroll through this slideshow.

Lexus CT 200h
The Lexus CT 200h is the only vehicle from the Midsize Luxury Sedan class with a rating of zero driver fatalities. In reality, though, the CT is a relatively small hatchback. The Lexus ES 350, another midsize luxury sedan, has a rating of 31, which is just over average for all vehicles sold in the United States, according to the IIHS.Lexus CT 200h Information
