Subaru Achieves Recognition for Safety Excellence in 2025
In an impressive demonstration of commitment to safety, Subaru has secured three Top Safety Pick awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for its 2025 vehicle lineup. This accolade comes as the IIHS introduces enhanced, more stringent testing standards aimed at improving vehicle safety. Subaru's efforts in producing safe and reliable vehicles have once again been recognized, showcasing their dedication to passenger well-being.
Top Honors for the 2025 Subaru Solterra
The 2025 Subaru Solterra stands out by earning the prestigious IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ award. This model has been recognized for its superior safety features, positioning it as a front-runner among electric SUVs. With rigorous testing, the Solterra was able to meet the new, more challenging benchmarks set by the IIHS. Jeff Walters, President and Chief Operating Officer of Subaru of America, Inc., highlighted the pride the company feels for this achievement in safety.
Acknowledgments for the Ascent and Forester
Following in the footsteps of the Solterra, the 2025 Subaru Ascent and Forester also garnered IIHS recognition, earning TOP SAFETY PICK awards. These models have consistently demonstrated Subaru's commitment to safety; the Forester, in particular, has received this award for an impressive 19 years. The Ascent model has also achieved significant recognition, marking eight consecutive years as a top contender in safety standards.
Enhanced Safety Ratings Reflect New Testing Criteria
As part of the IIHS's updated criteria, vehicles were required to earn an acceptable rating in the latest moderate overlap front impact test to qualify for the TOP SAFETY PICK award, while only those receiving a good rating could secure the TOP SAFETY PICK+ distinction. Hence, the inclusion of an additional dummy in the testing process is aimed at assessing the safety of backseat passengers more effectively. This critical update allows customers to make informed decisions regarding the safety of their vehicles.
