Subaru Earns Top Marks in IIHS Safety Standards


Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, recently announced that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS; a nonprofit organization supported by auto insurers in the US) has awarded the highest standard of safety, 2016 TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+), along with the highest possible rating of “Good” for five crash-worthiness tests as well as “Superior” for front crash prevention with the highest possible score of 6 points, to the 2016 Subaru Legacy, Outback, Forester, Impreza, Subaru XV, and WRX.

IIHS has strengthened the requirements for both 2016 TSP and 2016 TSP+. To qualify for 2016 TSP, a vehicle must earn “Good” ratings in five crashworthiness tests – small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints – as well as a “Basic” rating for front crash prevention. To qualify for 2016 TSP+, a vehicle must earn “Good” ratings in the five crash-worthiness tests and an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating for front crash prevention.
