Award-Winning Subaru Safety Technology

For the past five years, Subaru has been the only manufacturer to earn a Top Safety Pick for all its models from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. How does Subaru manage to earn such great recognition for safety? It comes from a dedication to quality design, emphasizing passenger protection at every stage of assembly, from the reinforced frame and engine placement to the brakes and airbags.

It starts with the frame.

Every recent Subaru vehicle has a reinforced ring-shaped frame surrounding the passenger area. The Subaru Boxer engine is placed low in the frame for a couple of key reasons: it lowers the center of gravity for better balance, and in the case of a head-on collision, the engine will pass underneath the cabin instead of entering it. Each Subaru frame is also designed for large windows, so you'll have more visibility than drivers in some competing vehicles.

Smart braking systems and improved response give you full command.

The most important part of your Subaru vehicle's safety system is the brakes. When you need to avoid danger, you'll need your brakes to respond quickly, without slipping or grinding. Every Subaru model comes standard with an Antilock Braking System (ABS), which helps prevent wheel lock up, and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), which distributes braking energy for maximum stability. They also come with Brake Assist, which can sense a panic-stop situation and apply full braking power so you can come to a stop in time to avoid a collision.

Futuristic assistance with EyeSight technology helps prevent risky situations.

The available Subaru EyeSight system is what puts Subaru ahead of the competition when it comes to safety. It uses two cameras, mounted by the rearview mirror, that are advanced enough to identify obstacles or to let you know if the vehicle in front of you is going slower than you are. If you try to switch lanes when there's another car in your blind spot, or if you start to drift from your lane accidentally, EyeSight can alert you to the danger. It can even react to high-risk situations before you do. It's a technological system from the future, designed to keep you alert and safe while driving.

If needed, an advanced airbag system.

Not even the safest driving and most advanced safety technology can prevent all possible collisions. Every Subaru model comes with a set of standard airbags, along with child seat anchoring and headrests that help prevent injuries. An advanced array of sensors helps determine the best way to deploy the airbags.
