It’s never been an easy task for a vehicle to earn the title of Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, let alone the prestigious title of Top Safety Pick+. However, Subaru vehicles have proved time and time again that they’re up to the challenge, and this year they’ve done it once more!
Four Subaru vehicles from the 2024 model year were just recognized by the IIHS, with the 2024 Ascent winning the Top Safety Pick+ title and the 2024 Impreza, the 2024 Outback, and the 2024 Solterra all winning the Top Safety Pick award. This is even more impressive than usual, as for 2024 the IIHS modified the requirements of both tiers to be more rigorous, now requiring better results for side impact protection, pedestrian crash prevention systems, and front overlap tests. For the Ascent, this is the seventh consecutive year of being recognized as a Top Safety Pick. The Impreza boasts seventeen straight years, the Outback sixteen, and the Solterra two.
“We followed the tougher requirements we introduced last year with another major update to the award criteria in 2024,” said IIHS President David Harkey. “This year’s winners are true standouts, offering the highest level of protection for both vehicle occupants and other vulnerable road users.”
“Subaru's commitment to safety is renewed daily in the cars and SUVs we deliver to our customers," said Jeff Walters, President and Chief Operating Officer, Subaru of America, Inc. "With tougher criteria again for 2024, we're proud to be recognized by the IIHS this year with Top Safety Pick awards.
Between 2013 and the present day, Subaru has been honored by the IIHS with Top Safety Pick awards more than any other brand, seventy-one times in total.
