No matter how fast a vehicle gets you to your
destination, the most important thing is that it
gets you there in one piece. Subaru is committed
to protecting passengers with multidimensional
safety. So committed, that each and every Subaru
model tested, when equipped with available VDC,
was chosen as an IIHS 2008 Top Safety Pick.

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 engineers their vehicles 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 Impreza is one of your best possible bets.
Government crash testing recognizes the Impreza with a five-star crash-test safety rating.

Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)
Standard on every 2009 WRX and STI, VDC
electronic stability control monitors the path
of your vehicle to help detect unwanted
deviations in your trajectory, and corrects them
to keep you in control and on the right path.
Front, Side and
Side-Curtain Airbags
3
An array of sensors can deploy any one
or more of the six airbags the instant an
accident is detected. The WRX and the
STI feature side-curtain airbags to better
provide all-over protection for the driver, front
passenger and outboard rear passengers.
Ring-Shaped
Reinforcement Frame
Exceptionally strong, the frame design
of the WRX and the STI not only helps
to maintain cabin integrity during a
crash—it also helps divert dangerous
impact energy away from occupants.
Brake Assist
This feature helps provide safer braking
in a panic stop. By sensing the speed
with which the brake pedal is depressed,
maximum brake pressure is immediately
applied, even if your right foot doesn’t
supply enough force.
