Subaru reports it holds more 2014 IIHS Top Safety Pick awards than any other automaker. Seven Subaru models, including its BRZ, WRX/STI and XV, have earned 2014 safety awards from the IIHS – four with Top Safety Pick and three with Top Safety Pick+ including the Forester, Legacy and Outback.
Subaru Southern Africa marketing manager Ashley Lazarus said: “While timing cannot yet be confirmed, the 2015 Subaru Outback will see South African roads in the future.
"The stellar safety performances of both the all-new Outback and Legacy once again go to prove the unwavering dedication to safety enforced by Subaru engineers, who integrate leading safety features like Subaru’s ring-shaped reinforcement body structure to ensure all Subaru vehicles are as safe as can be.”
