The 2015 Subaru Impreza has joined the ranks of the most crashworthy vehicles on the road as determined by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The car, available as a sedan or hatchback, earned the safety agency's highest distinction, Top Safety Pick Plus, when equipped with the optional EyeSight Driver Assist Technology; without the option, the Impreza earns the Top Safety Pick designation.
Redesigned for the 2015 model year, the Impreza received ratings of good in IIHS' front small overlap, front moderate overlap, side impact, roof strength and rear impact evaluations. EyeSight earned the car a superior rating in front crash avoidance. EyeSight comes as part of a $2,795 option package that includes a moonroof, navigation, keyless entry and push-button start; it's available on the 2.0i Limited model sedan and 2.0i Sport Limited hatchback.
The Impreza is the seventh Subaru vehicle to earn a 2014 Top Safety Pick award, following the Legacy sedan, Outback wagon, Forester crossover, BRZ sports coupe, WRX/STI performance sedan and XV Crosstrek crossover. The Impreza has earned Top Safety Pick status each year since 2012, and 2014 is its first time getting the additional Plus designation thanks to the inclusion of a front crash avoidance system.
