PASSIVE SAFETY

Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame
The Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame strengthens the passenger cabin’ s roof, doors, pillars and floor. This design helps divert and dissipate impact energy away from the occupants in a collision by use of highstrength materials and strategic placements. While making it stronger with increased torsional rigidity, the overall frame is still lightweight.
Actual model trim may vary.

ACTIVE SAFETY
Visibility
With a commanding perspective and front and rear visibility at the top of its class, the Ascent keeps the driver aware and at ease on narrow roads and in tight spaces. Blind spots are kept to a minimum with well-positioned A-pillars and integrated partition windows. The side mirrors have also been placed onto the door panels, creating a remarkably open field of view.
This system detects obstructions behind the vehicle and automatically applies the brakes when it judges that the risk of collision is high. Reverse Automatic Braking also incorporates a rear obstruction warning feature, which signals drivers using different patterns of alarms according to the distance from the obstruction.

The Subaru Rear / Side Vehicle Detection( SRVD) system features Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist that sees where you don’ t and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert to warn you of traffic approaching from the side when you’ re backing up.
