With the new, 2018 Subaru Forester models rolling into our dealership already, we've had some drivers inquire about the safety of this versatile car. Well, we've recently seen crash test results, and they offer a lot of reassuring good news.
The government-issued crash test ratings are overwhelmingly positive for the 2018 Subaru Forester. In fact, out of a possible five stars, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave our 2018 Forester a perfect score of five stars for overall safety. These results include:
- Four stars for frontal crash
- Five stars in a side-impact crash
