When it comes to choosing a compact SUV, safety is often the deciding factor—and the 2026 Subaru Forester delivers in a big way. The newest Forester has officially earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, the highest safety honor given by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Even better? The 2026 Forester is available right now at Haldeman Subaru in Robbinsville, NJ.
What Does IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Mean?
The Top Safety Pick+ designation is not easy to earn. Vehicles must achieve the highest ratings across a wide range of crash tests, including updated side-impact testing, pedestrian crash prevention, and nighttime headlight performance. The 2026 Subaru Forester met or exceeded every requirement, reinforcing Subaru’s long-standing reputation for building some of the safest vehicles on the road.
Built on Subaru’s Safety-First Philosophy
Safety has always been a cornerstone of Subaru engineering, and the 2026 Forester continues that legacy. Every Forester comes standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, providing enhanced stability and traction in rain, snow, and challenging road conditions—something New Jersey drivers truly appreciate year-round.
In addition, the 2026 Forester is equipped with the latest generation of EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which includes features such as:
-
Automatic Emergency Steering
-
Pre-Collision Braking
-
Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
-
Lane Departure and Sway Warning
These advanced systems work together to help prevent accidents before they happen, adding confidence to every drive—whether you’re commuting, running errands, or heading out on a weekend adventure.
Designed to Protect Everyone Inside and Out
The IIHS also recognized the Forester’s excellent pedestrian crash prevention performance, a growing priority in modern vehicle safety. Improved front-end design, enhanced detection systems, and responsive braking all help protect not only occupants but others on the road as well.
Inside the cabin, high-strength materials and Subaru’s advanced airbag system provide added peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike. Visibility—another Forester strong point—remains exceptional, helping drivers stay aware of their surroundings at all times.
