When it comes to safety and reliability, Subaru continues to lead the way. The 2025 Subaru Forester has been awarded the prestigious Top Safety Pick+ designation by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), solidifying its reputation as one of the safest small SUVs available on the market today. This accolade reaffirms Subaru's dedication to the highest safety standards and its commitment to driver and passenger well-being.
Excellence in Safety Features and Performance
The IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award is not handed out lightly. It requires vehicles to excel in stringent safety tests, including side impact protection, pedestrian crash prevention, and headlight performance. And Subaru's 2025 Forester met and surpassed these standards.
To qualify for this recognition, cars must achieve:
- "Good" ratings in the updated side and small overlap front tests.
- An "Acceptable" or "Good" score in the pedestrian front crash prevention evaluations.
- Adequately rated headlights across all trim levels.
- A "Good" or "Acceptable" rating in the moderate front overlap test.
The 2025 Forester did just that, proving its ability to protect passengers and pedestrians alike.
This achievement is the latest in the Forester's impressive track record, with the model earning an IIHS Top Safety Pick designation 18 times since 2007, a feat no other small SUV has accomplished. Subaru itself has earned more IIHS Top Safety Pick+ awards than any other brand since 2013.
What's New in the 2025 Subaru Forester?
The 2025 Forester features a sleek exterior design and a more refined, quieter interior, enhancing both form and function. Its focus on safety, however, remains paramount.
Here's what sets it apart:
- EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology is standard across all trim levels and includes advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centering.
- Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a Subaru hallmark, ensures unmatched stability and control, no matter the terrain.
- Steering Responsive LED Headlights improve nighttime visibility and enhance pedestrian safety.
- Additional features like Reverse Automatic Braking, Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Emergency Stop Assist further solidify the Forester's status as a safety champion.
Subaru President and COO Jeff Walters says it best: "The Forester's exceptional performance in safety evaluations is part of its heritage and what our customers expect from Subaru." And the latest version does not disappoint.
