When it comes to big SUVs, safety is important. That's why it was big news when the Subaru Ascent was recently awarded a Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS). Here is a look at what the Subaru Ascent earned this top award and why it is one of the safest SUVs on the road.
A Rare Achievement
The IIHS tests all vehicles that are available in North America. However, only a handful of these vehicles are awarded a top IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award. To qualify for this award, a vehicle must average a top rating on all safety and crash tests. In fact, the Subaru Ascent was awarded a "Superior" rating in the important front crash safety test.
Top Six Crash Tests
The IIHS tested the Subaru Ascent in six crash situations: passenger-side small overlap front, driver-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, head restraint tests, and roof strength. The Subaru Ascent was able to score a "Good" or "Superior" rating on all these tests to qualify for the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award.
What Makes the Subaru Ascent So Safe?
The Subaru Ascent is one of the safest vehicles on the road thanks to its incredibly strong construction. That starts from the high strength steel frame that is one of the most impressive in the automotive world. The Subaru Ascent also has top side impact beams that allow the Ascent to give you exceptional protection from side impacts. Finally, the Ascent is packed with top driver-assist features that act as second eyes on the road to help prevent accidents from happening.
