The Forester is designed to protect its occupants with a series of advanced
systems and features, balancing rigid strength with controlled deformation
in key areas to better manage impact forces.
Systematically placed airbags, whiplash-reducing front seats, retracting
pedals and 3-point seatbelts are all part of providing safety to the
occupants directly.
Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frames
The Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frames strengthen the passenger cabin's roof, doors, pillars and floor.
This design helps divert and dissipate impact energy away from the occupants in a collision by use of
high-strength materials and strategic placements. Whilst making it stronger with increased torsional
rigidity, the overall frame is still lightweight.
Break Away Engine
Every Subaru goes above and beyond common practice when it comes to your safety. In the event
of a head-on collision, the SUBARU BOXER engine and gearbox are designed to absorb the impact
and break away from the cabin for your protection.
Seats, Seatbelts and SRS*1 Airbags
Standard on Forester are front SRS airbags, plus front-side and curtain SRS airbags. Also, a driver's
side knee SRS airbag greatly increases protection of the lower extremities in frontal impacts. Height-
adjustable front seatbelts feature pretensioners to hold passengers firmly in place, and load limiters
that ease peak forces to the chest. In a rear collision, front seats utilise rigid frames, firm headrests
and such details as energy-absorbing mounting of the inner seat springs, all to help reduce the chance
of whiplash.
All-Round Visibility
The Forester is highly ranked for superior visibility. By redesigning the A-pillar and integrating the
partition windows into the front doors, we greatly reduced the size of blind spots. The side mirrors have
also been placed onto the door panels, creating a remarkably open field of view. You can see easily in
both the front and rear directions, so driving in the city on narrow roads is never a problem.
Pedestrian Protection
Shock-absorbing space within the vehicle helps reduce pedestrian injury, as do an energy-absorbing front
bumper with a specially designed area around the windshield wipers. And in order to provide protection in
the head zone, a split-type construction in the front has been implemented.
