For Subaru, the only thing more important than
the driving experience of our vehicles is that you
arrive safely at your destination. This commitment
to protect occupants with multidimensional
safety is what made each and every Subaru
model tested, when equipped with available VDC,
an IIHS 2008 Top Safety Pick.
1
Active Safety
|
Trust. Subaru knows that this is the most important feeling to have when you get behind
the wheel. You can drive with confidence knowing that Subaru engineered the Legacy to assist in keeping
you safe by helping you avoid accidents. Exceptional visibility helps you see danger coming, and active
technologies like Subaru AWD and a responsive suspension help you stay in control in an emergency.
Passive Safety
|
In a worst-case scenario, the Subaru Legacy is one of your best possible bets.
Government
crash testing recognizes the Legacy with a five-star crash-test safety rating.
3
Its brilliant track record in
safeguarding passengers comes from an array of advanced protection technologies coupled to a body
structure that is meticulously engineered to help save lives.
1 Rating based on Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS’s) 40-mile-per-hour frontal crash test, 31-mile-per-hour side-impact test, and 20-mile-per-hour rear-impact test.

Traction
Standard full-time AWD automatically
adjusts power front and rear, helping
to maintain greater traction, no matter
what the road surface or the weather has
in store, helping you to maintain better
control of your Legacy.
Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)
The VDC electronic stability control monitors
the path of your vehicle to help detect
unwanted deviations in your trajectory, and
helps correct them to keep you in control
and on the right path.

Ring-Shaped
Reinforcement Frame
Exceptionally strong, the frame design
of the Legacy not only helps to maintain
cabin integrity during a crash—it also
helps divert dangerous impact energy
away from occupants.
Front, Side and
Side-Curtain Airbags
4
An array of sensors can deploy any one or
more of the six airbags the instant an
accident is detected. The Legacy features
side-curtain airbags to better provide
all-over protection for the driver, front
passenger and outboard rear passengers.
3 Star ratings are part of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s safercar.gov program (www.safercar.gov).
4 Always wear seatbelts. Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat.
