    No matter what kind of car you drive on a daily basis, safety remains a top objective because after all the goal of travelling and driving in particular is to get where you want on time and well. This is the reason why many safety technologies get implemented in various cars and they tend to improve on a yearly basis. Still, it is really hard to pick a safe car but thanks to the efforts of the US Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) this task has become a bit easier.

    The IIHS has just enriched your choice with the addition of the all-new 2015 Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback, which have been given the 2014 Top Safety Pick+ designation. The new Subaru Legacy has achieved the highest possible rating of “good” in the Institute’s crashworthiness evaluations of front small overlap, front moderate overlap, side impact, roof crush and rear impact. The sedan also received a “superior” rating in the Institute’s front crash avoidance testing. The catch is that in order to have the 2014 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation the 2015 Subaru Legacy must have the optional EyeSight® driver-assist system.

    The all-new 2015 Subaru Outback has also achieved the highest possible rating of ‘good’ in the Institute’s crashworthiness evaluations, as well as a “superior” rating in the front crash avoidance testing. Just like in the 2015 Subaru Legacy case, the new 2015 Subaru Outback needs to be equipped with the optional EyeSight® driver-assist system.

    Subaru is also proud to announce that seven Subaru models, including the BRZ, Impreza, WRX/STI and XV Crosstrek, have earned 2014 safety awards from IIHS – four with Top Safety Pick and three with Top Safety Pick+ including its Forester, Legacy and Outback models equipped with optional EyeSight®. As Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc., says “The Institute’s findings reinforce our dedication to building safe vehicles. We are proud of the 2014 Top Safety Pick endorsement for every Subaru vehicle in our line-up.”

  • Subaru Teases 2015 Legacy Ahead Of Chicago Debut

    2015-Subaru-Legacy-Teaser-THUMB2015 Subaru Legacy Concept was introduced in November last year during the Los Angelis Auto Show. The model was designed with to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Legacy model and also offered a glimpse of what the future models in the line-up would look like.

    Almost four months later, Subaru is putting into practice its promise and releasing the first teaser image of the new 2015 Legacy production sedan. The vehicle is set to debut on 6th of February at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show.

    What we can conclude from the image is that the new Legacy will offers a sleeker, more coupe-like profile next to the faster windshield rake angle and narrower A-pillars. This contributes towards the sporty and modern appearance of the model.

    Subaru stated that the Legacy will be a mid-size sports sedan that will deliver improved driveability and functionality while achieving a design required for a flagship model with a quality feel. It will sport a design infused with functionality in terms of roominess and visibility and will embody the design direction proposed by the Legacy Concept.

    The Japanese brand didn’t reveal much in addition to this, so we have to wait until the official premiere. Whether the production sedan will look like the concept model will become clear in less than a week. Till then you can take a sneak peak of what the concept looks like:
