Why Subaru Leads in Safety for Teens

To qualify for U.S. News & World Report’s Best Cars for Teens list, vehicles must meet strict criteria, including:

  • Exceptional reliability ratings
  • High crash test scores
  • Affordable ownership costs
  • Advanced driver assistance features

Both the Forester and Legacy excelled in these areas, earning five-star Overall Vehicle Scores from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a TOP SAFETY PICK rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for the 2025 Forester.

Subaru also offers innovative teen driver monitoring features that send alerts when the vehicle exceeds a preset speed, travels outside designated areas, or operates beyond approved hours. These tools help encourage safe, responsible driving habits from day one.
