Active Safety

Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection

Sensors placed around the vehicle alert you of vehicles in your rear blind spots for safer lane changes. It also warns you of potential collision danger whilst driving in reverse into a street with cross traffic.

High Beam Assist

High Beam Assist increases visibility and safety when driving at night by toggling the high beams on and off automatically, depending on driving conditions.

Reverse Automatic Braking

When in Reverse, this system uses four sensors on the rear bumper to detect obstructions behind the vehicle. If detected, the system can alert the driver with warning sounds and automatically apply the brakes to avoid a collision or reduce collision damage.

Vehicle Dynamics Control System & Active Torque Vectoring

If the vehicle approaches the limits of stability, the AWD torque distribution, engine output, and brakes at each wheel are adjusted to help keep the vehicle on course. And with Active Torque Vectoring, brakes are applied and less torque is distributed to the inside wheels and more to the outside wheels for more precise handling, helping you make sharp turns when necessary.

SUBARU GLOBAL PLATFORM

The SGP’s advancements throughout the chassis—higher rigidity, higher strength, lighter weight, better rolling resistance and responsive steering—particularly benefit these safety systems.

Hazard Avoidance

Made possible by the SGP, the lower centre of gravity design, enhanced suspension system, and rigidity improvements provide a vehicle that responds immediately when evasive actions are taken, helping avoid hazards on the road.

Cabin-Protecting Layout

Now sitting lower than ever due to the low centre of gravity design of the SGP, the engine and gearbox are designed to avoid crashing into the cabin in the event of a collision.

Passive Safety

Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame

The ring-shaped reinforcement frame makes better use of high-tensile steel panels and has been structurally redesigned for more efficient energy absorption from impacts in all directions.

Supplemental Restraint System Airbags

Front SRS* airbags, front side SRS* airbags, curtain SRS* airbags, and a knee SRS* airbag come standard on the Impreza to give all passengers a higher level of protection in the event of a collision.

Locking-tongue Seatbelts

Whiplash-mitigating Front Seats

Designed to enhance comfort and help the driver feel more planted for more control, these seats can also help reduce the possibility of whiplash resulting from certain types of collisions.
