20 Safest Cars of 2015

20. Subaru XV Crosstrek

The Subaru XV Crosstrek 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 child seat LATCH system scored “marginal” due to the lower anchors being too deep in the seat, and it being difficult to maneuver around the anchors. 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 XV Crosstrek 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.
