safety-picks

In a year when the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety bumped up the testing to the most rigorous and scrutinizing safety tests ever, Subaru, Volkswagen, and Audi were among few car manufacturers to receive the highest safety ratings possible.

This year’s safety tests not only included front, side, and rear collission tests but also a rollover test. Subaru was the only car manufacturer to receive the top safety rating for every crash test in each of the vehicle categories in which it competed. The list of vehicles to receive the top safety rating was only 27 cars long this year, compared to 90 last year.

Subaru’s models to make the list are:

  • Subaru Outback
  • Subaru Legacy
  • Subaru Impreza (except WRX)
  • Subaru Tribeca
  • Subaru Forester

Volkswagen’s cars to make the list were:

  • Volkswagen Jetta sedan
  • Volkswagen Passat sedan
  • Volkswagen Golf 4-door
  • Volkswagen Tiguan

The Audi A3 also made the list, receiving the highest possible safety rating in all 4 crash tests.
