Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid earns Top Safety Pick Plus award

Subaru now leads the pack with nine models on the TSP+ honor roll.

The 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is the latest vehicle to earn a Top Safety Pick Plus award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The car received top marks in all six crashworthiness evaluations, including both the driver- and passenger-side small overlap, and a 'superior' rating for its automatic emergency braking system.

The Crosstrek Hybrid features curve-adaptive LED projector headlights with high-beam assist. With just one available headlight configuration, the car is among a short list to receive a 'good' rating for all trim levels including the base model.

"Subaru now has nine models, the most of any brand, that earn a 2019 Top Safety Pick+ award," the IIHS says.
