20 Safest Cars of 2015

10. Subaru Impreza

The Subaru Impreza scored “good” in all areas, and a “superior” in the front crash prevention test. The optional eyesight system avoided a collision in both the 12 mph and 25 mph test. The roof was able to withstand 5.2 times the weight of the vehicle before crushing 5 inches, earning it a “good” rating. In the small overlap front test, the Subaru Impreza earned a “good” rating across the board. Driver space was well maintained, with a maximum intrusion of the lower interior of 12 cm. Measurements taken from the dummy indicated a low risk of injury in a crash of this severity. The dummy’s movement was well controlled. The dummy’s head loaded the frontal airbag, which stayed in front of the dummy until rebound.
