The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety just released its latest batch of safety ratings based on its (admittedly fun-to-watch ) crash tests, and there are a few new cars to consider if you’re looking for a supremely safe ride. Eight new vehicles qualified for the agency’s Top Safety Pick awards, including five that achieved the highest Top Safety Pick+ rating.

There may be promising news soon for consumers who have held off on major purchases like vehicles until they can get a better interest rate. The Federal Reserve is expected to cut federal interest rates at its policy meeting this month, with many economists surveyed by Reuters expecting the Fed to cut interest rates twice more before the end of the year. However, you may not want to go out and buy a new car immediately after the news hits, as it can take a while — and multiple rate cuts — for it to translate into a significant change for car shoppers.

Fortunately for shoppers looking at new electric vehicles right now, this is a great season for sales, lease deals and other incentives that make them an even more enticing buy.
