Subaru has once again proven its commitment to quality and performance, securing not one, but three spots on Car and Driver’s prestigious 2024 Editors’ Choice List. This highly anticipated annual list, revealed by the эксперты at Car and Driver, highlights the automotive industry’s crème de la crème, and Subaru’s impressive showing underscores its position as a leading automaker. The recognized models – the Subaru BRZ, Crosstrek, and Outback – each stood out in their respective categories, reaffirming Subaru’s diverse appeal and engineering excellence.
Car and Driver’s rigorous evaluation process is what lends immense credibility to their Editors’ Choice awards. Each year, the авторитетный publication puts nearly 500 vehicles through comprehensive testing, covering 36 different market segments. Their criteria are stringent, combining instrumented testing with subjective expert assessments. Vehicles are judged on performance, how well they fulfill their intended purpose, and their standing against competitors within their segments. As Car and Driver themselves state, these awards represent vehicles they wholeheartedly recommend – cars they would suggest to their own families and have even purchased themselves. This endorsement speaks volumes about the quality and desirability of the vehicles that make the list, and Subaru is rightfully proud to have three models included.
Jeff Walters, President and COO of Subaru of America, Inc., expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are thrilled the BRZ, Outback, and all-new Crosstrek are 2024 top picks by the editors at Car and Driver.” This recognition from a respected publication like Car and Driver validates Subaru’s ongoing efforts to produce vehicles that excel in safety, performance, and technology.
