The Subaru Forester: Leader in Crash Prevention Safety

The Subaru Forester: Leader in Crash Prevention Safety

The 2024 Subaru Forester has been awarded the prestigious “Superior” rating by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in its latest rear crash prevention test. This accolade highlights the Forester’s commitment to advanced safety and robust performance, making it a standout choice among small SUVs.

Top Safety Rating for Rear Crash Prevention
The IIHS test evaluates how well vehicles can prevent or mitigate rear-end collisions while backing up, a common and costly accident scenario. The 2024 Subaru Forester emerged as one of only four small SUVs to achieve the highest “Superior” rating. This designation reflects the Forester’s advanced Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) system, which effectively prevents or reduces impact damage during low-speed reversals.
Innovative Safety Features
The Forester’s RAB system uses sonar sensors to detect obstacles behind the vehicle. If an object is detected, the system alerts the driver and can automatically apply the brakes to avoid or lessen the collision’s severity. This feature, combined with standard Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology and Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist, underscores Subaru’s dedication to comprehensive safety.
Why Choose the Subaru Forester?
Beyond its top safety ratings, the Subaru Forester offers a blend of capability and comfort with its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and Active Torque Vectoring. With an impressive ground clearance and a low step-in height, it combines SUV versatility with car-like handling.
For drivers seeking a reliable, safe, and well-equipped SUV, the 2024 Subaru Forester delivers exceptional value and peace of mind. Visit our team at Otto’s Subaru to experience this top-rated model firsthand.
