Vehicles tested after 1 January 2008 will require Electronic Stability Control in order to achieve a 5 star rating. This vehicle was tested prior to this date and may or may not meet this new requirement.
The tested model of Subaru Impreza was launched in Australia in September 2007.
Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side curtains are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD) and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Advanced seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats.
The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pre-tensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point (lap) seat belt.
 The Subaru Impreza scored 14.93 out of 16 in the offset crash test. The passenger compartment held its shape well. There was a slight chest of serious chest injury for the passenger and a slight risk of serious lower leg injury for the driver and passenger.
The vehicle scored 15.73 out of 16 in the side impact crash test. There was a slight risk of serious chest injury for the driver. A further two points were scored in the optional pole test.
 Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head/neck 4 pts, chest 3.91 pts, upper legs 4 pts, lower legs 3.02 pts.
The passenger compartment held its shape well in the offset crash test. The accelerator pedal moved rearwards by 88 mm and upwards 57 mm. The steering wheel hub moved forwards 34mm and upwards 5 mm. The front ("A") pillar moved 1 mm rearwards. All doors remained closed during the crash and could be opened with normal effort after the crash.
The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact was stable. There were no knee hazards. The passenger's head was cushioned by the airbag.
Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head 4 pts, chest 3.73 pts, abdomen 4 pts, pelvis 4 pts.
The vehicle was eligible for an optional pole impact test, since it had head-protecting side airbags and scored four points for the head in the side impact test. The manufacturer decided to go ahead with the pole test and the vehicle earned a further two points.
