To qualify for the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ award in 2023, a vehicle must earn 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.
Headlights rated “Good” or “Acceptable” must be standard across all trims, and a front crash prevention system that earns “Advanced” or “Superior” ratings in both the daytime and nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations must be available.
“We are thrilled that seven of our 2024 models received a 2023 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK award, especially under the new criteria,” said COO of Subaru Jeff Walters in a recent news release. “This is a testament to our commitment to providing customers with vehicles set to the highest safety standards.”
