Subaru of America, Inc. today announced that two 2024 vehicles earned recognition as Best Cars for Teens by U.S. News & World Report. In addition, the 2020 Crosstrek Hybrid was awarded Best Used Small SUV.
Jeff Walters, President and Chief Operating Officer, Subaru of America, Inc.: “We are pleased to receive the 2024 Best Cars for Teens award for Outback and Legacy from U.S. News & World Report. These awards illustrate to our commitment to providing customers and their families with vehicles not only made to the highest standards of safety, reliability, and value, but also made with the versatility for tackling life’s adventures.”
The 2024 Legacy and Outback have earned excellent safety ratings, including a perfect 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Outback being named a 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
For 2024, all Subaru models, including those earning Best New Cars for Teens awards, feature standard Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology that includes Automatic Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Departure and Sway Warning, and Lead Vehicle Start Alert.
Subaru vehicles also include teen driver controls or available smartphone apps that send parents alerts when the car goes over a set speed or is driven outside a set time period or geographic area. These features allow parents to set limits for teen drivers and have an ongoing conversation with their teens about responsible driving habits. To be named one of the Best New Cars for Teens, a vehicle must have the best combination of predicted reliability ratings, crash test scores, available driver-assistance features and top critics’ recommendations in its price category.
SUBARU STARLINK® connected services offers additional safety and convenience features valuable to the parents of teen drivers. Three packages are available for Outback and Legacy. The STARLINK Safety Plus Package includes SOS emergency assistance, enhanced roadside assistance, advanced automatic collision notification, maintenance notifications, monthly vehicle health report, and diagnostic alerts.
For even greater peace of mind, the STARLINK Safety Plus & Security Plus Package adds remote engine start with climate control; stolen vehicle recovery service; vehicle security alarm notification; remote lock/unlock; remote horn and lights; and remote vehicle locator. Also, parenting features including boundary, speed, and curfew alerts are part of the service. The STARLINK Concierge Package adds the convenience of in-vehicle assistance with restaurant and hotel reservations, purchasing tickets for sporting/theater events and scheduling service appointments.
The 2024 Subaru Outback and Legacy are available at Subaru retailers nationwide, with prices starting at $28,895* for the Outback and $24,895* for the Legacy.
