EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology
Subaru EyeSight is an extra set of eyes on the road, and if need be, an extra foot on the brake when you drive. When equipped with EyeSight, the 2019 Ascent, Crosstrek, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, and WRX received the highest possible rating for front crash prevention from IIHS highest rated claim from 2019 to 2020. You may even be eligible for additional Vehicle Safety Feature savings on your auto insurance if your vehicle has options such as Subaru EyeSight.

Subaru DriverFocus®
Every day in the U.S., more than 1,000 people are injured in crashes reported to have involved a distracted driver. As an industry leader in safety, Subaru developed the Subaru DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System, one of the first technologies of its kind.
Engineered for both new and experienced drivers, Subaru DriverFocus works together with Subaru EyeSight® to help detect distracted or drowsy driving. If the driver’s attention strays from the road for too long, Subaru DriverFocus can deliver visual and auditory alerts to bring attention back to the road — it’s like having a copilot along for the ride.
SUBARU STARLINK® Safety and Security
Instant access to help when you need it most. That's the reassurance of STARLINK Safety and Security. With services such as Automatic Collision Notification, which will promptly send first responders if an airbag deploys, SOS Emergency Assistance, Stolen Vehicle Recovery, and more, STARLINK Safety and Security can help keep you and your Subaru safe.

Rear Vehicle Detection
Rear Vehicle Detection are safety technologies designed to help maximize driver awareness using Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Rear-Vision Camera, and Reverse Automatic Braking.
Blind-Spot Detection
and Lane Change Assist
Using radar sensors, the Blind-Spot Detection system warns you with a visual indicator in each side mirror if a vehicle is sensed in your blind spots. Another feature of this system, Lane Change Assist, alerts you with a flashing indicator in each side mirror if it senses a vehicle approaching in a neighboring lane while you signal for a lane change.
Available on: 2021 Legacy, 2021 Outback, 2021 Crosstrek, 2020 WRX, 2021 Forester, 2021 Impreza, 2021 Ascent
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert uses radar sensors to help warn you of traffic approaching from the side as you are backing up, utilizing an audible warning and flashing visual indicators in your side mirrors and Rear-Vision Camera display.
Available on: 2021 Legacy, 2021 Outback, 2021 Crosstrek, 2020 WRX, 2021 Forester, 2021 Impreza, 2021 Ascent
Rear-Vision Camera
Before you can avoid danger, you have to see it coming. The Rear-Vision Camera gives you a clearer view of the area behind your vehicle, so you can be in charge of your surroundings.
Standard on: All models
Protective Systems
A ring-shaped reinforcement frame helps provide high-impact protection for the passenger compartment. An advanced airbag system deploys up to eight airbags, with Forester, Outback, and Crosstrek models also including a rollover sensor. And the engine's low placement is designed to allow it to drive under the chassis in a front-end collision, further protecting the passenger area.
Control & Braking Systems
Along with the traction that Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive gives you, Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), a stability control system, automatically senses steering and braking inputs to help keep the vehicle on the driver's intended path. The VDC system also includes an all-wheel all-speed traction control system.
In stopping situations, the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) pulses braking power to help prevent wheel lockup. Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) optimizes the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels according to how the vehicle is loaded with passengers and cargo. And the Brake Assist system helps ensure maximum pressure is applied to the brakes as quickly as possible in an emergency situation.

Active Torque Vectoring
Available Active Torque Vectoring proactively brakes the front inner wheel in certain turning scenarios, improving turn-in, reducing understeer, and helping the vehicle to follow the driver’s intended path.

SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
Dry, wet, snowy, or off the road, maintaining traction is of the utmost importance. The Subaru Symmetrical AWD system continuously sends power to all four wheels to maximize traction and reduce the chance of slippage in any road condition.
