Subaru XV Award

2013 Subaru XV model of the new American Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash tests conducted by the passing of security and "Safest Car of the Year" Award
All Subaru models in different segments, IIHS - tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety frontal, rear and side collisions, once again, proved to provide drivers and passengers with maximum security. Repeatedly for three years "most secure" the chosen car brand Subaru, the new XV model once again showed that it has a high safety performance.

The new 2013 Subaru XV model crash tests, roof strength and rollover tests gave the highest levels of security.

Subaru XV compact design with excellent protection shield

Subaru ring-shaped reinforced chassis, exhibited for more than ten years of top-level performance proves itself. The design of the cabinet, increasing the robustness provides excellent protection for absorbing the energy of impact to all the points. This unique design XV'nin "Top Safety Pick 2012" was instrumental in winning the award.

Rating How was it made?

The Institute's frontal impact resistance reviews 40 miles / hour (64 km / h) based on the offset crash tests. Side evaluations are 31 miles / hour (50 km / h) speed of a moving vehicle on the basis of the performance of the barrier çarpmasındaki happening. A barrier represents the front side of the vehicle pick-up or SUV. Points injury measures recorded mannequins, head protection measures taken in the evaluation of the impact and the vehicle's structural performance during the reflect.

Rear-end collision protection criteria are assessed according to a two-step procedure. Scoring a starting point for measurements of head restraint geometry: a bracket on the back of the head of a man's height and horizontal length of a normal-sized. With good or acceptable geometry seat / head restraint is tested dynamically using a dummy neck forces. This test hours of standing behind a vehicle 20 miles (32 km) at simülasyonur suffer a crash. Test, the lowest note of the seats are not designed correctly.

Roof strength test, a metal plate is pushed towards one side of the ceiling rate of displacement 0.2 seconds. 5-inch roll-over protection in a collision, to get the best score criteria before it reaches the ceiling, 4 times its own weight in the vehicle must be able to withstand a force corresponding to the weight.

IIHS tests are known and reliability of operating in the U.S., conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Car insurers funded by the organization, the security features of vehicles by testing the credibility of the investigating collisions and accidents.
