2016 Subaru WRX

Subaru has announced the 2016 Subaru WRX has received the 2015 Top Safety Pick award and, when equipped with the optional Eyesight Driver Assist Technology, the 2015 Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

The 2016 WRX achieved the highest possible rating of ‘Good’ in the Institute’s crashworthiness evaluations of front small overlap, front moderate overlap, side impact, roof crush and rear impact.  The vehicle also received a ‘Superior’ rating in the Institute’s front crash avoidance testing.  The rally-bred WRX is powered by a 268 hp 2.0-litre turbocharged boxer four-cylinder engine.

New features available on the 2016 WRX include Blind Spot Detection/ Rear Cross Traffic Alert System with Lane Change Assist, as well as Eyesight with Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking and Lane Departure Warning.  To win 2015 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must have “Good” ratings in all four tests of high-speed front and side crash tests, a rollover test, and evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts.  In addition, “Good” or “Acceptable” performance in a small overlap front test introduced in 2012 is also required. The same level of performance in those tests, along with an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating for front crash prevention, is required for the higher accolade, 2015 Top Safety Pick.
