2022 Subaru WRX earns Top Safety Pick+ award

The Insurance plan Institute for Highway Protection (IIHS) has produced its newest crash examination effects for the 2022 Subaru WRX, which has earned the Institute’s maximum award, Major Safety Choose+.

This is an improvement around the 2021 WRX, which missed out on the top rating owing to the inadequate efficiency of its standard halogen headlights.

To earn possibly of the Institute’s two awards, a motor vehicle need to generate great ratings in six IIHS crashworthiness exams, such as the driver-facet small overlap front, passenger-facet smaller overlap front, average overlap front, authentic facet, roof toughness and head restraint exams. It must also be accessible with a entrance crash avoidance system that earns superior or outstanding rankings in both the auto-to-car or truck and daytime auto-to-pedestrian evaluations.

For the decreased-tier Major Protection Choose award, at least just one good or suitable headlight system should be offered. For the bigger-tier Prime Protection Pick+ award, good or acceptable headlights should be typical throughout all trims.

The WRX’s entrance crash prevention process gained excellent scores. The curve-adaptive LED projector headlights on the Restricted and GT trims gained a fantastic rating, when the normal LED projectors attained an acceptable score.

The 2023 Subaru Legacy and Outback also attained the Institute’s highest award.
