Subaru has long been a leading name in vehicle safety. While the sedans and crossovers in the Subaru fleet are all outfitted with all-wheel drive (except the BRZ) for performance, they are also some of the safest vehicles on the road. One Subaru vehicle where this is clearly evident is the Outback.
The Outback has been on the road for a while, and is continually praised for its functionality, safety, and performance. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), has named the Outback as a TOP SAFETY PICK+. This prestigious certification shows just how safe Subaru’s signature crossover is.
The IIHS is not the only group that has taken notice to the Outback’s safety features. At the end of August, Subaru announced that its 2017 Outback had made the list for Best New Cars for Teens by the U.S. News and World Report. The crossover was able to make the list due to its safety technologies, in the form of accident prevention and crash protection. The Outback was also selected for its overall quality as a vehicle.
The 2017 Subaru Outback possesses numerous features for safety and performance. It comes equipped with EyeSight® Driver Assist technology and headlights that respond to your steering. When you find yourself in an accident in your Outback, and your airbag is deployed, police and first responders will automatically be notified. Some models of the Outback even come equipped with Reverse Automatic Braking, which can really save a driver.These are just a few of the features that make the 2017 Outback a TOP SAFETY PICK+ and a best new car for teen drivers.
