Subaru Active and Passive Safety
When it comes to feeling confident, nothing is more important than feeling safe. That’s
why Subaru places safety as one of our highest priorities, and why we think about safety
in 360 degrees. First, we engineer our vehicles with exceptional control and advanced
accident-avoidance technologies to help keep accidents from happening in the first
place. Then, we build every Subaru with protection technologies that have made it a Top
Safety Pick, 2008 and 2009.
1 The end result is a car that—in a worst-case scenario—is
one of your best possible bets.
Protected from every angle.
Exceptional Control
Safety begins with avoidance. The traction and balance of
Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and the stability of the
SUBARU BOXER
® engine provide you with the outstanding
control you need to react to hazards. Every Impreza also
comes standard with VDC electronic stability control, which
can detect a loss of control and intervene to help keep you
on your intended path.
Stopping Power
Powerful and reliable disc brakes are teamed with
advanced technology to help you stop short of danger.
Antilock brakes help make sure you don’t lose traction,
and the advanced Brake Assist system helps ensure
maximum pressure is applied to the brakes as quickly
as possible in an emergency situation.
Protected on the Inside
Front, front-side and side-curtain airbags 3 —standard
on every Impreza—surround outboard occupants in the
event of a crash to further help prevent injury. To maximize
their effectiveness, the advanced system found on the
Impreza uses an array of sensors to ensure the airbags
are deployed in the best way possible.
Protected from the Outside
During an impact, nothing is more crucial for the safety of
all occupants than maintaining cabin integrity. Our frame
design, the Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame, is designed
to be exceptionally strong for maximum resistance to
impact energy. What’s more, its unique configuration helps
divert that energy away from occupants.
