2015 SUBARU IMPREZA EARNS 2014 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ AWARD
Subaru of America, Inc. announced today that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has recognized the new 2015 Subaru Impreza as an IIHS 2014 TOP SAFETY PICK, and when equipped with the optional EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, the model receives the IIHS 2014 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award.
The redesigned 2015 Impreza achieved the highest possible rating of ‘Good’ in the Institute’s crashworthiness evaluations of front small overlap, front moderate overlap, side impact, roof crush and rear impact. The vehicle also received a ‘Superior’ rating in the Institute’s front crash avoidance testing.
Subaru has more 2014 IIHS Top Safety Pick awards than any other brand. Seven Subaru models, including the Legacy, Outback, Forester, BRZ, WRX/STI and XV Crosstrek (model year 2014), have earned 2014 safety awards from IIHS – three with TOP SAFETY PICK and four with TOP SAFETY PICK+ including its Impreza, Forester, Legacy and Outback models equipped with optional EyeSight.
