Default It is also one of the safest cars in the world......

Insurance costs are driven to a large extent by medical coverage costs. It makes sense then that a safe car would incurr less medical expenses for the occupants, thus saving the insurance company money in case of an injury accident. The cost of fixing the vehicle is offset by the lower expected medical costs.
