So incredibly grateful for your work, to everyone at IIHS.

Good in both updated side impact and front overlap, along with Model Y, Explorer, and Mustang Mach-E.

Just bought a 2024 model for my family (#3 baby on the way) and couldn’t be more happy. What a tank!!! Compared to some of these other mid-size SUV’s this has to be top 2-3!

Glad to see it did so well in this crash scenario. I’d be curious for them to test this with the eyesight adaptive cruise enabled to see if it would avoid the crash all together or how minor the damage might be at say 50 MPH.

they got G because the side curtain air bag didn't break the test dummies neck on the return like most of the rest lol.

Those A-pillar plastic trim will sure poke out an eyeball or cause severe laceration on your head. I have a 2019 crosstrek and when I removed the A-pillar trim to install a dashcam, I was shocked at how sharp that thing is. Other car manufacturers don't have that piece of trim sticking out upon airbag deployment, yet Subaru seems to have that issue.

Do you have the 2022 Subaru WRX crash test?

Why is this better than the VW Atlas? I thought the passenger was moving around a lot more. Am I missing something here? Can someone fill me in?
Mind you, I drive an Outback and I love Subaru's but I don't understand why this came out the way it did although it is good

How it this any better than the 2023 Crosstrek?
