ALL SUBARU MODELS RECEIVE IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) FOR 2015

Subaru has become synonymous with the word safety. Why you might ask? Maybe it’s Subaru’s patented Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, maybe it’s Subaru’s innovative Eyesight feature, or maybe it’s because Subaru vehicles keep taking home the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s “Top Safety Pick” and “Top Safety Pick+” awards.


During the latest rounds of testing, ALL SUBARU MODELS RECEIVE IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) FOR 2015.

All Subaru models, including the Subaru Impreza, Subaru Outback, Subaru Legacy, Subaru BRZ, Subaru XV Crosstrek, and Subaru Forester.

Top Safety Pick+ (TSP+) is the highest standard of safety the Institute can award. Earning the award for every Subaru in their vehicle line-up is quite impressive; however, this is not the only year Subaru’s earned the top safety pick for every model in their line-up. In fact, Subaru is the only manufacturer with IIHS Top Safety Picks FOR ALL MODELS SIX YEARS RUNNING!

What’s more impressive is Subaru continues their safety streak, despite stricter qualifications. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has upped their standards for their Top Safety Pick and last year added a fifth test to the curriculum, the small overlap front test.

To win 2015 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must have “Good” ratings in all four tests of high-speed front and side crash tests, a rollover test, and evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts. In addition, “Good” or “Acceptable” performance in a small overlap front test introduced in 2012 is also required. The same level of performance in those tests, along with an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating for front crash prevention, is required for the higher accolade, 2015 Top Safety Pick+.

Much like any test, some succeed while others fail. You could consider Subaru than an over-achiever.  Time and time again, Subaru models have been recognized for their safety features, like Subaru’s patented Subaru Eyesight.

Five of the seven vehicles also earn 2015 Top Safety Pick+ status; Subaru Forester, Legacy, Outback, Impreza, and XV Crosstrek, when equipped with optional EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology.

Subaru EyeSight is an automated braking system. Subaru Eyesight is the highest rated front crash prevention system currently on the market. Subaru Eyesight technology is available in the Outback, Legacy, and Forester models.  Learn more about Subaru Eyesight here.

Many of these Top Safety Pick+ vehicles are available in our new car inventory.
