How Safe Is the Subaru Outback?

When it comes to safety, many Illinois drivers turn to Subaru to ensure they’re getting a reliable vehicle that will protect them when they need it most. Subaru vehicles consistently rank high when it comes to safety ratings and scores. So what exactly is the Subaru Outback safety rating for the 2023 version? Let’s see how the newest model year stacks up.

2023 Subaru Outback Safety Ratings

In terms of vehicle safety ratings, there are two main organizations that consumers rely on to test and examine cars in order to determine their scores: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Each has a slightly different method for testing and scoring vehicles.

For the 2023 Subaru Outback, the NHTSA scored it a five out of five stars—the highest rating possible. And the IIHS named the SUV a 2022 Top Safety Pick+, also the top rating possible for the organization. This means that the new model year has achieved perfect safety ratings.
