The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek and Impreza have garnered prestigious recognition by earning IIHS Top Safety Pick awards for 2023. This announcement comes as a testament to Subaru’s unwavering commitment to safety and its dedication to meeting the stringent safety standards set by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
In 2023, IIHS introduced new and more rigorous requirements in areas such as side impact protection, pedestrian crash prevention, and headlights. To achieve the coveted IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation, a vehicle must excel in various safety categories. For the Impreza to secure the Top Safety Pick+ award, it had to receive a “Good” rating in the updated side impact test, as well as in the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, and original moderate overlap front tests. Furthermore, it was essential for the Impreza to feature headlights rated as “Good” or “Acceptable” across all trim levels and have a front crash prevention system that earned “Advanced” or “Superior” ratings in both daytime and nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations.
The 2024 Crosstrek, on the other hand, achieved the IIHS Top Safety Pick award, showcasing its strong safety performance across various crash tests and safety features. This recognition underscores Subaru’s commitment to safety across its entire lineup.
Remarkably, Subaru has outperformed all other brands in the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ category since 2013, accumulating an impressive total of 70 awards. This remarkable achievement underscores Subaru’s ongoing dedication to ensuring that their vehicles provide the highest level of safety for their customers.
In total, Subaru’s 2024 lineup has received IIHS Top Safety Pick awards for seven of its models, with four achieving Top Safety Pick+ status. This accomplishment is a testament to Subaru’s unwavering dedication to delivering vehicles that meet the highest safety standards and its ongoing pursuit of automotive safety excellence.
Jeff Walters, President and Chief Operating Officer of Subaru of America, Inc., expressed his delight at this achievement, emphasizing the brand’s commitment to providing customers with vehicles that prioritize safety above all else.
As Subaru continues to lead the industry in safety, it reaffirms its position as a brand that values the well-being of its customers and is dedicated to setting new standards for automotive safety. These IIHS awards for the 2024 Impreza and Crosstrek serve as a testament to Subaru’s unwavering commitment to safety and its relentless pursuit of excellence in the automotive industry.
