Tokyo, Apr 21, 2008 (Jiji Press) - Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd.'s <7270> Subaru Impreza has won Japan's safest passenger car award for fiscal 2007, the government said Monday.

The Impressa, a four-door hatchback, proved best in terms of passenger and pedestrian protection among 15 passenger models that sold well in the past one year, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism said.

The Subaru car was the only model that received the top rating for pedestrian head protection performance in the Japan New Car Assessment Program, the ministry also said.

The program aims to evaluate automobile anticollision safety features as well as braking and pedestrian head protection performance through tests conducted jointly by the ministry and the National Agency for Automotive Safety & Victims' Aid.

Of the 15 cars, the Impressa and 12 others got the highest five-star score for protecting drivers and front seat passengers through frontal, frontal offset and side collision tests.
