Both the 2015 Subaru Legacy and Outback Earn Top Safety Pick+ Ratings

Aug. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- The folks at Subaru of Hilton Head, the Savannah area's leading Subaru dealer, have long been happy to discuss the versatility and capability of the dynamic Subaru Legacy and Outback. Now they can add that the 2015 Subaru Legacy and Outback are also two of the safest vehicles on the road today, as both models have earned the highest possible Top Safety Pick+ rating from the esteemed Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

The rigorous and thorough testing conducted by the IIHS, along with their very strict standards, is well-known and respected throughout the automotive industry. Both of these 2015 Subaru models recorded top scores in the frontal and side crash tests, as well as in the roof strength and rear seat-based tests. Both models also scored well in the important front small overlap crash test, which is one of the most difficult tests for a vehicle to pass.

The structure of both the Legacy and Outback was upgraded for 2015, and this undoubtedly contributed to the improved results over last year’s IIHS Top Safety Pick rating. Along with the structural upgrade, both vehicles feature new safety systems such as:

Rear Vehicle Detection
Blind Spot Detection
Lane Change Assist
Cross Traffic Alert

A new version of the EyeSight safety system is also an available option.

These new safety systems join carry-over features from last year’s models, which include a standard rearview camera and a side-curtain airbag system with rollover sensors.

The 2015 Subaru Legacy is a midsize sedan that offers a roomy interior, a long list of comfort, convenience, and tech features, and improved fuel efficient engines.

The redesigned 2015 Subaru Outback is a crossover wagon that has an updated interior with plenty of cargo space, a wide array of standard features, and improved fuel economy.

Both vehicles feature the superior Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel drive systems, which makes them a top choice of drivers who lead an active lifestyle.

Safe, smart, and fun-to-drive, the new Legacy sedan and Outback crossover wagon are currently featured at Subaru of Hilton Head. To learn more about the safety features or to test drive either or both models, contact the dealership.
