Test details:
The Subaru Legacy was redesigned for the 2010 model year. Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Subaru as part of frontal crash test verification.
The moderate overlap frontal crash test ratings also apply to the station wagon version of the Legacy, known as the Outback, also redesigned for 2010.
Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.
Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Additional features:
- Side airbags: front and rear head curtain airbags and front seat-mounted torso airbags
- Rollover sensor: designed to deploy the side curtain airbags in the event of an impending rollover (standard on Outback, not available on Legacy)
- Electronic stability control
- Antilock brakes
- Daytime running lights
