When it comes to protecting your family on Long Island roads, safety isn't optional-it's everything. At South Shore Subaru, we proudly offer a full lineup of vehicles with top safety ratings from trusted authorities like the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) and NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).
From standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology to advanced crash protection, Subaru builds vehicles that help you avoid accidents-and keep you protected if one happens.
What Does a Top Safety Rating Actually Mean?
A high safety rating is more than just a number. It reflects how a vehicle performs in real-world crash scenarios and how well it can prevent them. Top-rated cars are tested for:
-
Frontal and side-impact collisions
-
Rollover resistance and roof strength
-
Headlight performance and pedestrian protection
-
Effectiveness of automatic emergency braking systems
When you choose a Subaru, you're choosing a brand that earns Top Safety Pick+ awards year after year-and leads the industry in crash avoidance tech.
