2014 Subaru Forester Ranks High in Crash Test

Subaru safety is still top priority on Subaru vehicles

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has just published new crash test results for 13 different small SUVs. This was the first time that the IIHS tested for "small overlap protection in a test that represents a crash in which only the front corner of a vehicle strikes another vehicle, or a tree or pole," wrote ABC news, quoting the IIHS. These types of crashes are not only one of the most common, but they account for almost 24 percent of severe injury and death in frontal crashes.

Just two models received high marks at all; the 2014 Subaru Forester, which "aced the test" and the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, which received an "acceptable". Want to be in this extremely-safe small SUV? View our 2014 Subaru Forester inventory here.
