The Subaru Outback was released in 2003. These test results apply to models built from 2004 without side curtain airbags.
These test results are based on crash tests of the Subaru Liberty. ANCAP was provided with evidence that the results also apply to the Subaru Outback. However, Liberty pedestrian results do not apply to the Outback. 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.
Dual front airbags are standard equipment. ABS brakes are also standard. Side airbags and head protecting curtain airbags are available as part of a safety pack (see separate crash test results). 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 seat belt. Advanced seat belt reminders are fitted to all seating positions.
