5-Star Euro NCAP Rating
The Subaru Forester has been awarded the maximum five-star safety rating in the latest round of Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) safety performance tests.
Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frames
The Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame strengthens the passenger cabin’s roof, doors, pillars and floor. This design helps divert and dissipate impact energy away from the occupants in a collision by use of high-strength materials and strategic placements. Whilst making it stronger with increased torsional rigidity, the overall frame is still lightweight.
Seats, Seatbelts and SRS* Airbags
Standard on the Forester are front SRS* airbags, plus front-side, curtain SRS* airbags and knee SRS* airbags. Height-adjustable front seatbelts feature pretensioners to hold passengers firmly in place as well as load limiters that ease peak forces to the chest...
Pedestrian Protection
Shock-absorbing space within the vehicle helps reduce pedestrian injury, as do an energy-absorbing front bumper and a specially designed area around the windshield wipers. And in order to provide protection in the head zone, a split-type construction in the front has been implemented.
Cabin-protecting Layout
Every Subaru goes above and beyond common practice when it comes to your safety. In the event of a head-on collision, your Forester’s SUBARU BOXER engine and gearbox are designed to avoid rushing into the cabin for your protection.
Visibility
With a commanding perspective and front and rear visibility at the top of its class, the Forester keeps the driver aware and at ease on narrow roads and in tight spaces. Blind spots are kept to a minimum with well-positioned A-pillars and i...
Braking System
The standard 4-wheel disc braking system is enhanced by Antilock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, to help redistribute braking power where you need it among all four wheels, as...
Vehicle Dynamics Control System
Vehicle Dynamics Control System monitors and analyses if the vehicle is following the driver’s intended course via an array of sensors. If a tyre slips or a high speed turns the vehicles off its intended path, the AWD torque distribution, engine output and brakes at each wheel are adjusted to assist in keeping the vehicle on course.
