The IIHS, or Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, is constantly updating their tests and rating systems in order to uphold an ongoing standard for vehicle safety that is always improving. One of their newer tests is designed to measure how safe a vehicle is in high-speed side-impact crashes, which cause many fatalities. The IIHS recently put 18 current model midsize SUVs through this high level side-impact crash test, including the 2022 Subaru Ascent. The Ascent’s performance in this test received the highest possible rating.
