At least in the United States and Canada all cars have to comply with the same minimum safety standards. There are some advantages available on higher priced cars that may not be available on bare-bones inexpensive cars, such as side-curtain air bags that give better protection in side impacts and usually bigger, more expensive, cars may have larger "crumple zones" so in theory could provide slightly better safety in frontal impacts. But in general most cars meet the Federally mandated standards and little more. Although Volvo and Mercedes-Benz have always used safety as a selling point and in general have exceeded normal safety standards. After the minimum safety standards are reached you pretty much "get what you pay for" and higher price can sometimes mean better safety, but not always.
