So IIHS has tightened their standards for this award to include headlight performance. Previous Foresters did not score particularly well in this test.
The new rankings do include the 2016 Forester, but only those built after October 2016. What changed?
IIHS Names Safest Cars - Consumer Reports
Why only 38 cars earned IIHS top safety pick status
My understanding was that the Forester's headlights received a "marginal" rating in all versions except the trims that offer LED headlights, which get an "A" rating. Is this still the case, or has Subaru changed the headlights on all trims recently?
