Why This New IIHS Safety Test Matters
What should SUV shoppers from Springdale, AR know about this new IIHS safety test for side-impact crash assessments?
This latest test was designed to improve vehicle safety by addressing higher-speed crashes that continue to cause fatalities — even in local northwest Arkansas communities like Fayetteville, Bentonville, and Springdale. Only the 2022 Subaru Outback lived up to the standard.
Not only was the Subaru Outback the only SUV to earn the highest possible rating, but Subaru's best-selling model was the only vehicle overall to earn the 'Good' mark in side-impact testing. This rating should provide Rogers, AR families with more peace of mind with their loved ones seated in a new Subaru Outback from our Fayetteville, AR lot.
How the Side-Impact Test Is Evaluated
This side-impact test reflects a pair of colliding vehicles at intersections like those in Fayetteville, AR. In its rigorous crash testing, a 'Good' rating confirms that no vehicle occupant (crash dummy) indicates a high risk of severe injuries. The seat belts and side airbags must also prevent the head of any occupant from making an impact with the vehicle's interior.
