Safety is always a concern with any
vehicle, and drivers would like to feel that they are driving a vehicle that
contains at least the standard safety features set. The 2015 Subaru WRX STI is
a safe car, quite safe in fact that it has earned the Top Safety Pick from the
Insurance Institute of Highway Safety.
The following are the star safety features
of this model:
Stability
control – reduces engine power and applies the brakes when it senses that the
handling limits have been exceeded.
Front,
side, knee, and overhead airbags – there are airbags all around the cabin
to protect the driver and passengers in a collision.
Anti-lock
brakes – modulates the brake pressure if it senses that a tire has stopped
rotating under extreme braking. This allows the tire to rotate.
Pretensioners – automatically
tightens the seatbelts during a collision so that the occupant stays securely
in place.
The WRX STI is based on the Impreza, which
had earned the Top Safety Pick rating, as well. It should come as no surprise
that this model followed suit, and even added some other worthy features,
including knee airbags. It also has been designed for improved road visibility,
which helps a driver’s view range that it will be hardly likely for him to miss
danger signals on the road, such as a pedestrian or an animal in his path. No
wonder, as the Top Safety Pick, the WRX STI performs excellently on crash tests
and scores high on a range of other safety tests, making it truly a safe
vehicle to drive, overall.
