Why Subaru
Considering safety from every angle
Subaru’s design philosophy of “Safety First” comes from the company’s roots in aircraft manufacturing, and we have been carrying out collision tests with consideration for pedestrian protection since the days of our first production vehicles (such as the Subaru 360 in the 1960s). Our “Primary Safety” concept considers safety from the primary stages of the vehicle’s design such as form and operation. Our “Active Safety” concept aims to improve collision avoidance on the road.

Primary Safety
Aim of creating accident-free automobiles
Subaru is the predecessor of aircraft manufacturer, pursuing the “accident-free automobiles” to avoid the error in operation and judgement. Inheriting the philosophy of safety, Subaru focuses on the primary design such as surface and operation, thereby we pursue clear, useful and comfortable space where driver can concentrate on driving easily.
- Blind Spots Minimization
- Driving Comfort
- Intuitive Interface
Active Safety
Fine-tuning base performance for better safety
SUBARU has fine-tuned all the basic functions of a car – driving, turning and stopping – to develop cars that offer exceptional stability and predictable control. SUBARUs designed with such a high level of basic functionality are also designed to avoid dangerous situations with an outstanding reputation for safety.
- Stability & Reliability
- Traceability
- Stopping
Passive Safety
Protection against Collisions
Since embarking on the business of car production, SUBARU has above all else focused on development of “safety technology” to provide protection against collisions. SUBARU cars incorporate numerous technologies designed to protect passengers, as well as the lives of pedestrians, in the event of a collision. Designing every aspect of the car with the aim of guaranteeing utmost safety is a collision safety concept that is unique to SUBARU and evidenced with features such as the “Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frames body” to protect against collisions, or the engine layout that protects passengers from shocks in the event of a crash.

- Frontal/Rear-End Collisions
- Side/Offset Collision, Roll-over
- Pedestrian Protection and Compatibility
