The 2015 Subaru WRX has only been in our Bremerton, WA showroom for a couple months, but already drivers in the Olympia, WA area and beyond are flocking to Peninsula Subaru for their turn behind the wheel. We weren't searching for another reason to brag about the new WRX, but we found one as it recently earned the prestigious distinction of being named a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS (Insurance Institute of Highway Safety).
For a vehicle to earn this title, it must pass various rounds of rigorous crash trials by scoring "good" on the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, head restraints and small overlap front tests. One of the most difficult evaluations to pass is the small overlap crash, which the 2015 WRX passed with flying colors as you can see from the video clip below.
The 2015 WRX is outfitted with a plethora of safety amenities to keep you secure behind the wheel, including a wide-ranging airbag system that includes a driver's knee airbag, headrests that decrease whiplash and a roof that has a crush rating of four times the model's curb weight.
The Subaru brand already has a longstanding reputation for building some of the safest vehicles around, with many new models also boasting this IIHS title. To take a closer look at the WRX or another Subaru model, visit us today at 3888 W. State Highway 16 for a test drive and discussion of available financing opportunities.
