All round safety, all year round

360 Degrees of Protection

A longstanding and steadfast commitment to safety has given Subaru vehicles a reputation for superior protection in all conditions. That powerful commitment is reflected in our four key safety attributes – Primary, Active, Preventative and Passive safety systems. From the start, our holistic approach to design gives drivers an overall confidence in the function of each vehicle to deliver the highest levels of stability and control. They are also infused with the latest technology to assist drivers in avoiding accidents before they happen. Ultra-strong construction and advanced safety systems help minimize the chance of injury in the event of an accident. That all-encompassing approach to safety gives Subaru drivers the freedom to pursue adventure during all four seasons – going where they want, when they want, even in the worst Canadian weather.

Primary Safety

Confidence even in winter

At Subaru, our core philosophy is to create Confidence in Motion – especially during winter months – with the end goal to engineer vehicles that function in all conditions. That is why every Subaru vehicle features proper seating positions, tremendous visibility, intuitive user interfaces, logical controls and meticulous ergonomics overall. Anything that could potentially distract the driver or prevent the driver from being in full control of the vehicle is eliminated, leaving behind only a stress-free driving experience.

Active Safety

Peace of mind all year round

The all-new Subaru vehicles introduced from 2017 onwards use the ultra-strong Subaru Global Platform, which will continue rolling out onto future models. All vehicles in the current fleet feature a world-class AWD system and boast class-leading active safety systems, such as Active Torque Vectoring, Brake Assist, Brake Override, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC). Those attributes give Subaru vehicles superior handling, braking and evasive capabilities – giving the Subaru driver a higher degree of control in less-than ideal circumstances.

Preventative Safety

Advanced technology works to avoid collisions

Long at the forefront of safety, Subaru has never rested on its laurels and continues to advance technology to best protect occupants. That relentless approach has led to the introduction of such innovations as the enhanced EyeSight^® Driver Assist Technology with additional wide angle mono camera, DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System, Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection and Reverse Automatic Braking, systems that help drivers avoid accidents altogether. In the belief that accident avoidance is the best way to be safe, Subaru continues to drive towards a future where accident prevention is engineered into every vehicle.

Passive Safety

Extra Layers of Protection

In the event of an accident, every Subaru vehicle features a wide range of passive safety systems designed to deliver class-leading levels of protection. Each vehicle boasts exceptionally rigid construction and incorporates the latest in passive safety systems, including a ring-shaped reinforcement safety cell, a full complement of airbags, collapsible pedals and front bumpers designed to minimize injury to pedestrians. Together, these advances help better protect occupants and reduce the effect of collision damage and, in turn, generate much greater peace of mind.
