4. Subaru Forester

The Subaru Forester scored “good” in all areas, and “superior” in the front crash prevention test, according to the IIHS. The optional eyesight system allowed the Subaru Forester avoid a collision at both 12 mph and 25 mph. The child seat LATCH system scored a “marginal” rating. This is 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 4.95 times the vehicle’s weight before crushing 5 inches, earning it a “good” rating. In the small overlap front test, the Subaru Forester earned a “good” rating across the board. According to measurements taken from the dummy, the risk of any significant injury in a crash of this severity is low.
