Subaru Vehicles Take Home Highest NHTSA Ratings

By: James Russel

So as to assist customers learn about the abilities of vehicles
to keep passengers safe, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, or the NHTSA, has done crash tests through its
New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). And the latest series of
crash tests done proved to be quite a victory for the Subaru
brand.

You see, two of the company's vehicles, the Subaru Legacy and
the Subaru Outback, both received the NHTSA's highest ratings
which are equal to five stars. The Legacy and the Outback
received such ratings for the frontal impact crash tests and for
the side impact crash tests.

Thomas J. Doll, the executive vice president of the Subaru of
America, Inc., is quite pleased to know of such results. He even
boasts, "Subaru customers have come to expect the highest level
of safety in their vehicles. Both the Legacy and Outback
continue to deliver the highest levels of active and passive
safety as evidenced by their recent five star performances in
the NHTSA NCAP tests."

According to Subaru, so as to make their vehicles quite safe for
passengers, there is more than just a blend of the right hypertech programmer parts and Subaru
crafted odds and ends. The company says that they have been
designing vehicles with the thought and idea that a vehicle that
is meant for active safety is that same vehicle that allows the
driver to gain a sense of control and stability over the
machine. And with that kind of thinking at hand while creating
their vehicles, the company has been able to come up with really
safe units.

The company has also made sure that they would have been able to
create the best types of safety systems and features that would
keep Subaru passengers in their seats and not out of them. There
are also passive safety systems like the engine which has been
specially designed so that it would not interfere with the
safety of the passengers in cases of crashes.

But there are just a few of the safety things found in the
vehicles. If you are interested in knowing more about them, you
can go at the car maker's official site and learn more about the
specifications.
