Before a new car
model becomes available on the market, it undergoes a series of safety tests to
ensure the safety of the passengers in case of a mishap. The agency responsible
for conducting these tests is the International Institute for Highway Safety
(IIHS), which routinely evaluates automobiles and provides safety assessments
for the motoring public. Recently, all seven models from Subaru passed IIHS
testing for the fifth year in a row, making it the most reliable automobile
maker in the market.
Recipe for safety
Subaru has
always been big on collision protection since the 1960s. It is the only car
manufacturer to incorporate crash safety features into its specifications, long
before other brands started to do so. It began with increasing cabin rigidity
which can absorb impacts from all directions.
It starts with design
Before a model
is put into production, it has to meet safety targets first. The design team
uses advanced computer imagery to create impact simulations. Once a prototype
has been built, a real crash assessment is conducted in Subaru’s testing facilities,
and the results are integrated into the prototype’s finalization.
Future protection
Subaru dealerships guarantee the 2015 lineup of vehicles will be just as safe (if not safer)
than before. Motorists can be assured that the BRZ, Impreza, WRX/STI, XV
Crosstrek, Forester, Legacy and Outback models are among the safest on
America’s roads. You know you’re in good hands when you hit the road in a
Subaru.
