Award-Winning Subaru Vehicles
It was recently announced that the 2025 Subaru Solterra, 2025 Ascent, and 2025 Forester, including Forester Hybrid, were Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK award winners, including a TOP SAFETY PICK+ win for Solterra. The 2025 Subaru Ascent and 2025 Subaru Forester and Forester Hybrid, excluding the Wilderness trim for Forester, earned a 2025 TOP SAFETY PICK award from the institution, marking the Subaru Forester’s 19th IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK award! For 2025 testing, vehicles must earn an acceptable rating in the updated test to qualify for TOP SAFETY PICK, while a good rating is required for the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award. The IIHS’ updated moderate overlap front test adds an additional dummy seated behind the driver to better test back seat passenger safety.
