Prepared to avoid. At Subaru, we believe the best accident is the one that never happens. That’s why we’ve equipped the all-new Outback with active safety features like the new Rear Cross-Traffic Alert to help warn you of traffic approaching from the side when you’re backing up and new Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist to help warn you when it senses a vehicle in your blind spot or a vehicle approaching at a high speed in a neighbouring lane. We’ve also added an improved Rear-Vision Camera for better vision when backing up, standard on every trim. Braking system The standard 4-wheel disc brakes and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) supply a strong, reassuring brake feel. To ensure maximum braking during an emergency, the Outback features both Brake Assist and Electronic Brake-force Distribution. There’s also Subaru Hill Holder, which helps prevent rollback on steep inclines. 14 Vehicle Dynamics Control with Active Torque Vectoring Standard Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) senses if the vehicle is following the driver’s intended course and can help ensure it does. Active Torque Vectoring was added to make your Outback even more responsive and better at taking on corners. Increased visibility We moved the A-pillar forward 50 mm from the previous Outback and made it thinner, which increased visibility. We also installed front quarter windows with door-mounted side mirrors to reduce the front blind spot for increased forward visibility.
