4. Subaru Impreza
The Subaru Impreza is recognized for its comprehensive safety approach. Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist technology delivers adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, and lane-keep assist as standard. Paired with symmetrical all-wheel drive, these features help the Impreza achieve strong crash-test scores from IIHS and NHTSA. According to the IIHS, the Impreza is a consistent safety leader—especially when compared to the Kia Forte. Drivers seeking sure-footed handling and peace of mind often turn to the Impreza.
