For many drivers, buying a vehicle with a high safety rating is a prime consideration when choosing which one to buy. The Subaru lineup at Budd Baer Subaru offers customers a complete lineup of vehicles that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has included among its Top Safety Picks. When you buy one of these top-rated vehicles from our inventory, you can rest assured that you will have the protection you need on the streets of McMurray, PA.
What Is an IIHS Top Safety Pick?
The IIHS tests new vehicles each year on several parameters to determine how well they protect Waynesburg, PA occupants in the event of a mishap. Most of the safety rating comes from six crash tests, including:
- Driver-side small overlap front
- Passenger-side small overlap front
- Moderate overlap front
- Original side
- Roof strength
- Seating and head restraints
To receive the Top Safety Pick designation, vehicles must earn "Good" ratings in all six crash evaluation, plus "Advanced or "Superior" for available vehicle-to-vehicle or vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention. Headlights that receive "Acceptable" or "Good" ratings must also be available. If these available features are standard, the model is instead named a Top Safety Pick+ and is a great choice for Canonsburg, PA drivers looking for affordable, but safe, options.
Which Subaru Models Provide the Most Safety Around Pittsburgh?
The 2022 Subaru models that have earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick designation are the BRZ, Crosstrek, Crosstrek Hybrid, Impreza, Legacy, Outback and Ascent. Of these, only the Crosstrek and the Impreza did not receive the Top Safety Pick+ award. The IIHS also named the Subaru Forester a Top Safety Pick+, which marks its first Top Safety Pick award.
