Passive Safety, to better survive a collision
At Subaru, there is never an end to the pursuit of safety. We set high standards, constantly enhancing features while earning acclaim
along the way. But even with the most advanced active safety systems, sometimes an accident is simply inevitable. That is why Outback is
designed to protect its occupants with a series of advanced systems and features, balancing rigid strength with controlled deformation in
key areas to better manage impact forces. The Cradle Mount System for its engine effectively lengthens the front crumple zone. Each side
door includes two side-impact protection beams. A comprehensive suite of airbags1, whiplash-reducing front seats, retracting pedals and
3-point seatbelts help protect occupants directly. It’s a core value of the Subaru philosophy that peace of mind is the first step in providing
driving enjoyment.
Comprehensive protection is at its heart.
Pedestrian Protection
Outback was designed with the objective of providing a high level of pedestrian protection. Shockabsorbing space between the head and engine helps to reduce pedestrian injury in an accident, as
do an energy-absorbing front bumper and a specially designed area around the windshield wipers.
Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frames
The Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frames strengthen the passenger cabin
from the roof to the doors, pillars and floor. This design helps to divert
and dissipate impact energy ]
