Best Cars & Sedans Factory Headlights
This category follows IIHS car classes, so it includes sedans plus related body styles like hatchbacks, wagons, and coupes. The goal is to identify which vehicle-year records and factory headlight systems have stronger measured lighting, and which ones still need measurement review.
How car factory lighting will be reviewed
Cars & Sedans recommendations will prioritize measured low-beam reach, curve coverage, glare control, high-beam visibility, factory equipment, and whether the better lighting is actually available across trims. The category includes sedan, hatchback, wagon, and coupe entries when IIHS groups them in the current car classes.
Cars & Sedans coverage currently uses vehicle-year records with factory headlight systems nested by trim or package where available. Unverified records are kept out of the ranked recommendations until measurements are reviewed.
