Subaru Crosstrek nets five star safety rating at Euro NCAP

Subaru Europe, a subsidiary of Subaru Corporation, has announced that its Crosstrek has scored a five star rating at the 2024 Euro NCAP safety tests.

The Subaru Crosstrek is said to have been one of the best-performing vehicles in the 'Child Occupant' category, attaining the maximum points in crash test performance. Good protection was provided for all critical body regions during the frontal offset test and the more severe side pole impact tests, with maximum points scored in this part of the assessment.

The Crosstrek also attained the maximum points for AEB Cyclist 3 and Lane Support Motorcyclists for the 'Vulnerable Road Users' category, and the side barrier test and the more severe side-pole impact in the 'Adult Occupant' category. Finally, the car is said to have attained the maximum points in the Lane Support category in the 'Safety Assist' assessment area. The lane support system (Lane Keep Assist) gently corrects the vehicle's path when drifting out of a lane and will then intervene in more critical situations (i.e. Emergency Lane Keeping).

The Subaru Crosstrek offers 220mm of ground clearance and permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive along with the brand's renowned X-Mode off-road system fitted as standard in the U.K., ensuring maximum grip and traction and exceptional road holding, even in challenging terrain and weather.
