Moderate overlap front: original test

Tested vehicle: 2012 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Premium 4-door 4wd
Rating applies to 2013 models

The Subaru Impreza, not including the WRX performance models, was redesigned for the 2012 model year. Moderate offset frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Subaru. The frontal ratings also apply to the wagon (5-door) version of the Impreza and to the XV Crosstrek, a wagon with increased ground clearance that was introduced in the 2013 model year.

About the original moderate overlap front test

Side: original test

Tested vehicle: 2012 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Premium 4-door 4wd with standard front and rear head curtain airbags and standard front seat-mounted torso airbags
Rating applies to 2013-17 models

The Subaru Impreza, not including the WRX performance models, was redesigned for the 2012 model year. Side ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Subaru. The side ratings apply to the 4-door sedan and wagon (5-door) versions of the Impreza and to the Crosstrek, a wagon with increased ground clearance introduced in the 2013 model year (originally known as the XV Crosstrek).
