SAFETY AND SECURITY

5-Star ANCAP² Occupant Safety Rating across the entire range of current vehicles.

No matter what Subaru you or your colleagues drive, there is the peace of mind knowing you're in one of the safest vehicles on the road.

Subaru is a leader in collision avoidance, collision protection and security features with the following standard on all models:

• Collision Avoidance
• Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive offers optimum traction in all conditions, all the time.
• ABS with EBD. Anti-lock braking allows shorter stopping distances in emergencies and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) detects and controls braking so you can steer away from danger.
• Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), a premium control system that is designed to give you optimum control in extreme conditions, such as swerving, side-slipping or entering a spin.
• Collision Protection
• Occupant Safety. All current Subaru models have a 5-star ANCAP occupant safety rating*.
• Airbags. All current Subaru models have dual front, dual front side and curtain airbags.
• Crash protection cell. Every current Subaru model incorporates a protective cell of ring-shaped reinforcement frames to absorb the energy of an impact.

Security
DataDot security in addition to an Engine Control Unit (immobiliser system), makes stealing and identity changing of a Subaru very difficult.

AMAZING ENGINEERING PERFORMANCE

All current models come with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and Horizontally Opposed Boxer engine.

From the ergonomically designed interior, the superior engineering of our Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system and other innovative new technologies, like Subaru Intelligent Drive - our pursuit is a safer more satisfying and exhilarating driving experience. That's why Subaru is famous for design quality and reliability.

All-Wheel Drive isn't unique but Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is, and unlike other manufacturers, All-Wheel Drive is fitted to every model. AWD offers superb traction and handling from all four wheels.

Subaru has been using Horizontally Opposed Boxer engines in production motor vehicles since 1966. The Boxer layout offers advantages in weight and size. Length and height are considerably less than an in-line engine. Its centre of gravity is low and closer to the centre of the car, meaning better, more stable cornering also contributing to fuel efficiency and improved handling. An added safety advantage of the Boxer layout is in the event of a frontal collision, the engine is allowed to slide below the cabin rather than into it.
