Advanced Safety Features for Collision Prevention and Protection
New 2025 and 2026 Subaru models are equipped with a suite of cutting-edge safety features designed not only to protect you in the event of a collision but, more importantly, to help prevent accidents from happening in the first place.
Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology: This award-winning system acts as a second pair of eyes on the road. Utilizing dual color cameras mounted near the rearview mirror, and now with a wider field of vision and an additional third camera on select models for improved pedestrian and cyclist detection, EyeSight® scans for potential hazards and integrates features such as:
Pre-Collision Braking: Can apply the brakes or reduce engine power to help avoid or lessen the severity of a frontal collision.
Adaptive Cruise Control: Adjusts your speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, now with Lane Centering for reduced driver fatigue.
Lane Departure and Sway Warning with Lane Keep Assist: Alerts you if you drift unintentionally from your lane and can even provide gentle steering assistance to help you stay centered.
Automatic Emergency Steering: In certain situations, can assist with steering control to help avoid a collision when braking alone isn't sufficient.
DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System (available on select trims): Uses a camera and facial recognition to monitor driver attention, alerting for drowsiness or distraction.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Standard on nearly every Subaru model, this foundational safety feature provides exceptional traction and stability in diverse driving conditions. By distributing power evenly to all four wheels, Symmetrical AWD enhances control on slippery surfaces, uneven terrain, and during sudden maneuvers, contributing to a more confident and secure driving experience in any weather.
Additional Preventative Safety Technologies include:
Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC): A stability control system that monitors wheel speed, steering angle, and yaw rate to help keep your Subaru on its intended path by applying braking pressure or reducing engine power when necessary.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD): Ensures optimal braking performance by preventing wheel lock-up and distributing braking pressure effectively among all wheels.
Brake Assist: Helps apply maximum braking force during emergency braking situations.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert: Utilizes radar sensors to warn you of approaching vehicles from either side when backing out of a parking spot.
Reverse Automatic Braking: Can automatically apply the brakes if an obstacle is detected while backing up.
Superior Visibility: Subaru vehicles are designed with large windows and strategically placed pillars to provide drivers with excellent all-around visibility, enhancing awareness on the road.
Rear-Vision Camera: Standard on all models, this camera provides a clear view of what's behind your vehicle, making parking and backing up safer and easier.
Blind-Spot Detection: Alerts you to vehicles in your blind spots with visual indicators on your side mirrors.
Comprehensive Collision Protection
While prevention is key, Subaru vehicles are also built to offer robust protection in the event of a collision.
Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame: This high-strength steel frame creates a protective "cage" around the cabin, designed to absorb and disperse impact energy away from occupants during a crash from any angle.
Advanced Airbag System: Featuring a comprehensive array of airbags, including front, side curtain, and driver's knee airbags, designed to deploy strategically to provide optimal protection for all occupants. Many systems also include rollover sensors for added peace of mind.
Strategically Positioned Engine: Subaru's Boxer engine is designed to slide beneath the passenger compartment in a severe frontal collision, further reducing intrusion into the cabin.
Family-Focused Safety
For families in Freehold, Farmingdale, and Manalapan, Subaru prioritizes the safety of your most precious cargo.
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) System: Found in the rear seats, the LATCH system makes it easy to securely install child safety seats, ensuring they are firmly anchored.
Child Door and Window Locks: Provide an extra layer of security, preventing children from opening doors or windows unexpectedly.
