ANCAP Safety
Tested
2010

The rated model of Subaru Liberty was introduced in Australia in 2009. This rating is based on crash tests of a Subaru Outback. ANCAP was provided with evidence that the Liberty gives comparable occupant protection to that of the Outback.

Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side curtain airbags are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Advanced seat belt reminders are fitted to all seats. A rear view camera is available.

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. Pretensioners 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.

A full list of safety features and technologies can be viewed within the Technical Report (see download link).
