The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety annually performs extensive testing on vehicles, all makes and models, to assess the vehicle's ability to withstand a crash. The IIHS conducts rates the performance, and those that earn good ratings in a variety of categories are named as a TOP SAFETY PICK. Vehicles with superior ratings are awarded a TOP SAFETY PICK +.
Subaru has always prided itself on safety, and it bears out in the IIHS ratings. Not just one model, but in fact the 2016 Subaru Forester, Impreza, Outback, Legacy, Crosstrek, and WRX were all TOP SAFETY PICK + recipients.
